The only similarity blue raspberry has to nature is the product of the Rubus Leucodermis plant.  This black raspberry will sometimes have a bluish appearance before it is ripe.  However, when it becomes ripe, it turns black.  It is sometimes mistaken for a blackberry, but it is smaller (with a diameter of about 1-1.2 cm).<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20110823090245/http://www.exoplantus.fr/Blue-raspberry-cane-Rubus-Leucodermis</ref>
