Rubus fruticosus
What are Blackberries?
Blackberry plants grow stems or canes covered in prickles to deter animals (and humans!). The canes can grow up to 7 metres long, reaching out to take root in new ground.
The distinctive tasty blackberry fruit is the easiest key to identification.
Blackberry is one of those supremely successful weeds that employs a couple of different methods of spreading itself. Birds spread seed widely, as they love the succulent fruit; the seeds are tucked inside. Also, blackberry stems can take root whenever they touch down on the ground, allowing this pest plant to quickly expand into a huge clump.
