Himalayan Blackberry (Rubus bifrons) on May 25, 2026

Submitter does not have a specimen
EDRR Status: Local expert notified

Description of specimen

The property behind our backyard has Himalayan blackberries that grow so thick it obstructs sunlight and is pushing over our fence and dislodging the fence posts. They grow under and over our fence and reach into our gazebo. We have trimmed them back, but they are already growing back. Previously, they were over 6 feet tall and ran the entire width of the fence.
