Judging from the pictures provided by the subject, this plant is often called raspberry thorn and hook thorn here. The information reflected in the picture: the stems are arched, light purple, odd pinnate compound leaves have about five leaflets, and the fruits are yellow, red and black. Based on this, I consulted some materials and preliminarily determined that this plant belongs to the genus Rubus of Rosaceae.
Rattan is a shrub distributed in Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet and other provinces in China. It often grows in hillside shrubs, ravines, ridges, sparse forests and streams. Its aliases include white branch bubble and so on.
Appearance characteristics of red-bubble thorn vine: shrub, one to two meters high, slightly arched stem, usually purplish red, with white powder and thorns on the surface. Odd-pinnate compound leaves have seven leaflets, sometimes five to nine, which are about 10 cm long with the petiole. The leaflets are oblong and about 3 cm long, with no hair on the surface, gray hairs on the back and irregular sharp serrations on the leaves. Umbrella with red petals, flowering from May to July. The fruit is hemispherical, about 1 cm in diameter, red turns to black, with gray hairs on the surface, and the fruit matures in June and July.
The external morphology of this plant is not stable. There are three small leaves, eleven on the vegetative branches, and the leaf shape is also unstable.
Its fruit can be eaten and brewed; Tannin can be extracted from root bark.
In my hometown of southern Shaanxi, this thing is called (meng zi) "Meng Zi", which is the pronunciation. I don't know if there is this word in Mandarin, so I use this word instead.
It grows on the mountain and can be eaten in summer and autumn. It is sour in red, sweet in black and a little delicious. When I was a child, I would go to the mountain to find these to eat. Do have a look when friends eat. Some of them have bugs in them.
Later, I learned that, officially, this is called wild raspberry. Now when I go back to my hometown, I will also find it to eat.
Yes, people in Zhao county are called Shenzi and Yeshenzi. When I was a child, there were some idle land in my hometown, such as high slopes, old river valleys and old cemeteries, where weeds, wild flowers and a few plants could grow freely. At that time, there was no pollution or pesticide damage, and plants growing in the fields flourished. Wild chrysanthemums, bowls of flowers and bowls of flowers were all dense and fragrant. I can't remember how the wild fruit grows, but I clearly remember that a purple wild fruit was picked on a slope weir next to a cornfield. It was thick with smiling fingers, delicious, sweet and sour, and left on the tip of the tongue for a long time. So far, when I think about it, my mouth is full of saliva ... But when I grow up, I have never seen it again, let alone tasted it! I don't wonder: where is it hidden? A piece of dismay in my heart ...
In your hometown, what is this thing called?
I recognized the subject at a glance.
Our Bai dialect is called black thorn honey, which is a kind of wild fruit with thorns, black fruit and sweet taste. There are also people named black lock plum. When the fruit is not ripe, the color is red, so the scientific name is red bubble thorn vine.
First, black thorn honey can be eaten.
In our mountain, black thorn honey usually ripens in mid-June, and now it's almost time.
Let's take a look back at the black thorn honey we picked in previous years. It's rich and sweet, with a little bit of sour taste, which makes people's mouths salivate. Since childhood, when cutting grass or collecting firewood on the mountain, I often can't stop picking and eating.
However, it is a pity that black thorn honey can not be eaten for a long time. In the dog days at the end of summer, there will be many bugs in the fruit and it can't be eaten. Therefore, it is necessary to pick it all at once before. If you can't finish it, you can use it to make fruit sauce or make wine.
Second, the growth habit of black thorn honey
Black thorn honey, a shrub, has strong growth and adaptability, and can be seen everywhere under walnut trees, bushes and sparse forest valleys.
I remember when I was a child, a big tree grew behind my house, but it was cut down because it occupied space, and I was depressed for a while. A few days ago, I found a big clump growing under someone else's walnut tree nearby, and it was cleaned up again. I was already waiting, and I could pick and eat it in ten days, but I was very depressed when it disappeared. For the pursuit of this kind of wild fruit, I grew up exactly the same as when I was a child.
Third, the shape characteristics of black thorn honey
Black thorn honey, purple branches, white leaves, mature fruit, is a ball of small black and bright beads, which is like a nest. When I was a child, I either stuffed them into my mouth or covered my fingers and sucked them one by one.
Fourth, the black thorn honey root can be used as medicine
It is mentioned in Chinese Medicine Sea that the root of black thorn honey can be used as medicine, which has the functions of promoting blood circulation and expelling wind, removing dampness and dispelling cold. If you suffer from cold joint pain or diarrhea, you can use them together.
The above is what I know about black thorn honey, that is, red thorn vine. Thank you for reading.
I come from rural Yunnan. In my hometown, this kind of wild fruit is called Jinsuomei, and the scientific name is Red-soaked Wisteria, which is a kind of wild fruit that I remember as a child. Of course, there are still some in the mountains now. I can eat this kind of wild fruit in June and July every year, which tastes sour and sweet. Personally, I don't feel very delicious, and the result is very difficult to pick. There are thorns all over my body, and I will be scarred if I am not careful.
At present, there are not many such wild fruits in our mountains. The reason for the scarcity is that it is said that the branches and roots of wisteria can be used as medicine. In rural areas, some people go to the mountains to dig all kinds of herbs. Whatever people buy, whether it is grass or trees, they dig and sell them, so it is getting less and less. I wonder if this is also the case in your side.
In addition to this kind of golden lock plum, there are also yellow lock plum and purple bubble here. Our name is Ziguo. Yellow lock plum and golden lock plum are similar in type, and they all grow in the mountains. The purple fruit I'm talking about usually grows on the ridge on the ground, and the fruit ripens a little earlier than the golden lock plum. You can eat this fruit when you cut wheat. In my opinion, the appearance of this purple fruit is a miniature version of the golden lock plum, and its taste and shape are similar. The difference is that it is a vine, and the whole plant lies on the ridge, so it is much better to pick the fruit than the golden lock plum. Here are the purple fruits and Huangsuomei fruits I mentioned. Do you have them there?
Hello, I'm a guest from Miao Ling.
My hometown is in Guizhou. When I was young, this stuff was everywhere on the hillside. It was our children's food. Go to the mountains to cut wood or something, and when you meet a cage of this baby, you can basically eat half full. Picking them one by one from the thorny branches, putting them in the palm of your hand and pouring them into your mouth, that's really an enjoyable experience. Maybe some people say it looks hairy and dare not eat it. In the eyes of children in the mountains, that hair is nothing at all, so it doesn't exist.
Bullshit for so long, let's get back to business. We collectively call this treasure "bubble", which is divided into two kinds. I don't know how to divide it botanically, and I haven't even figured it out yet. Are these two kinds of bubbles basically the same plant, which blooms and bears fruit twice in different seasons, or are they just brothers who are close relatives? One is produced in March of the lunar calendar, when farmers plant seedlings, so it is called March soaking; The other one was produced before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, so it is called Dragon Boat Bubble, because the dragon boat rowing competition will be held every year.
For it, it is called raspberry in books, and it is said to have high medical value.
I miss my childhood, my hometown and the sweet bubble in my memory!

It's called planting seedlings here. Why is it called this? Because it is mature in the season of planting (transplanting).
It grows on roadsides, fields and mountains, and can be seen everywhere when I was a child. Now it is much less than before because of serious logging.
It has thorns on its branches, so pay special attention when picking it, otherwise it will be easily stabbed.
It is red when it is immature and tastes sour. When ripe, it is sweet and delicious. When I was a child, cattle would go to the mountains to find food.
I browsed all the answers, but I haven't found that this "fruit" has the same name as my hometown, so I decided to write this answer.
My hometown is in a mountain village in baishan city, Jilin Province. Since I was a child, I couldn't afford to buy fruit because my family was poor. (At that time, the fruits sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives were single, the most common ones were apples and pears, and other fruits were hard to see.) Those wild fruits on the mountain naturally became the fruits we often ate, such as: Yamanashi, Prunus mume, Sugar Queena Ding, Vitis amurensis, Zizyphus jujuba, Smelly Prunus mume, Prunus mume, and so on. At that time, people were poor, but they didn't lack wisdom. Because there was no fruit to eat when it snowed in winter, people processed the harvested yamanashi into a "pear lump", dried the sliced Prunus davidiana, hung the Vitis davidiana and Ziziphus jujuba in the barn to dry in the shade, strung the mountain girls under the eaves, seeded the sugar Queena Ding and cut the pulp into saccharin blocks to dry. These processed "wild fruit products" were easy to store.
The fruit in the picture in question is called "grandma's head" here. I don't know why it is called "grandma's head". Maybe it is named after the shape of grandma's head. I don't know
There used to be many "mother-in-law's heads" on the real mountain. Fields, barren hills and terraced fields were everywhere. When they were ripe, they were all red. When people picked it, most of them would spread it on the bottom of the basket with big leaves of "old sow groaning", and then they began to pick "mother-in-law's heads", which was clean and hygienic.
Nowadays, because some fields with high slopes have been converted from farmland to forests, the number of "grandma heads" on the mountain has been greatly reduced. Looking around, the pieces of red in memory are hard to find ...
In your hometown, what is this thing called?
My hometown is called Heipaoer, and the yellow one is called Huangpaoer. I don't know what his real name is. Can anyone name a common name? Generally, in places where the sunshine is not sufficient now, and those places where the shady mountains are wet, he spreads out a little like vines everywhere. The vines on the ground die in winter, and they begin to sprout again in the next spring, grow new buds and elongate, then blossom and bear fruit, and mature in summer. The soft taste is sweet and sour. Be careful when picking fruits. There is that barb on the vine. The barb is particularly sharp and may hang on clothes and some parts of your body at any time. Although it tastes good, safety is very important.
Dear friends, now the black bubbles are ripe, if you have something to step on in your hometown.
The author's hometown is located in the eastern mountainous area of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. This kind of wild fruit was a snack when we were young. We called it "thorn bubble" or "yellow bubble" and "bubble" locally. The summer vacation every year is the best time to eat thorn bubble, and most of them are mature. Every time we go up the mountain to herd cattle, we can eat enough.
Thorn bubble, not raspberry and raspberry, is a kind of raspberry, with red, yellow, black, purple-black, orange-yellow, etc., and aggregated pulp. The flowering period is in March-April, and the fruit period is in June-August. It is a common wild thorn plant in rural areas, with thorns on its stems and petioles, and grows on roadsides, valleys, rivers, shrubs and forest margins.
Thorn bubbles, except yellow or orange, red and purple-black are mostly the same plant. The fruit is hard when it is blue, and then turns red gradually. With different maturity, red turns black and finally purple-black. Of course, there are pure purple-black thorn bubbles, which are sour and sweet, and have an abnormal appetite. It is suitable for all ages.
The height of echinochloa plants is generally 1-2 meters, but their stems belong to shrubs, and there are many branches, some of which are 2-3 meters long, and the branch bearing rate is high. The places where prickles grow are generally distributed around them. When they are mature, even people who don't know them from a distance will be attracted by it and want to pick them and taste them. When picking, gently pinch it. Like raspberries, aggregate fruit wraps the fruit stalk, which is separated when picking gently. The bubble is hollow and has tiny white stems, which is the vein of nutrient delivery. When I was a child, I never ate them one by one. I picked them in my hand and ate them one by one. That was an addiction.
No matter raspberry or raspberry, it tastes sweet and sour and is rich in nutritional value. It was a snack for children before the 1990s. With the improvement of living standards, children now despise prickly bubbles, but it is a good memory for us after 1980s. Friends, have you ever eaten this kind of stinging bubble?
