Avoid all the red berries, they are not red raspberries; they are just unripe black raspberries. Pick only the berries that are a deep purple, just about black in color.
The best way make sure you are picking ripe black raspberries is by the way they separate from the bush. You should be able to just roll your fingers across them into your bucket.
Be careful not to fill your containers more than 5“ full to avoid smashing the berries on the bottom.
