A blackberry plant's seeds are located in the fruit. There are many seeds in each "berry" (botanically speaking, not a berry at all, but a multiple in which each bump on the "berry" is an individual fruit called a drupe). Blackberry fruits are designed to look and taste delicious to many different animals, most notably to fruit eating birds. The bird or other animal will eat the fruit with the seeds. If the seed isn't damaged by chewing, it will pass through the birds digestive tract and be dropped far from the parent plant in the birds excrement.

There are many closely related species commonly known as blackberry, and they live in widely varying climates. Fruiting time for each species will vary, and fruiting time for each individual plant will vary depending on its geographic location. Generally, blackberries will set fruit from mid to late summer. Seed dispersal coincides with fruiting.
