Commentary

Hi Tina,

Thank you for reporting this to us and notifying City of Tigard. Armenian blackberry is so widespread in Washington County (and other Counties) that it is a lower priority for us to control. We can certainly provide information to landowners to help them control it themselves or pass along info to their neighbors (see useful weblinks below).
