==== Hybrid berries ====

The term "hybrid berry" is often used collectively for those fruits in the genus ''Rubus'' which have been developed mainly in the U.S. and U.K. in the last 130 years. As ''Rubus'' species readily interbreed and are [[apomict]]s (able to set seed without fertilisation), the parentage of these plants is often highly complex, but is generally agreed to include cultivars of blackberries (''R.&nbsp;ursinus'', ''R.&nbsp;fruticosus'') and raspberries (''R.&nbsp;idaeus''). The British National Collection of ''Rubus'' stands at over 200 species and, although not within the scope of the National Collection, also hold many cultivars.<ref>[http://www.rubusspecies.com/ National Collection of ''Rubus'' Species, Houghton, England, United Kingdom] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170912105653/http://rubusspecies.com/ |date=2017-09-12 }} ''www.rubusspecies.com''</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nccpg.com/National-Collections/Collection-Results.aspx?id=391 |title=Plant Heritage – National Collections Scheme, UK Garden Plants |work=nccpg.com |access-date=20 January 2015 |archive-date=20 January 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150120233053/http://www.nccpg.com/National-Collections/Collection-Results.aspx?id=391 |url-status=live }}</ref>
