My pet stick bugs eat that

These look like Black Caps in Ontario.

God I love blackberries so much.

Rather have these guys over Tansy Ragwort and Morning Glory

Hiking in the Smokies, people just walking right past these. Me: hey, snacks.
jethroismaxbaer5772
I like them red, has a slightly sour taste and I love sour candy.
dixxienormus
These are berry nice ...

I didnt realize they’re weeds until I moved to PNW. They’re everywhere.
hogeyegrex
I miss living somewhere you can pick and eat those. They exist here, but are all sprayed with something or another, and I don’t trust that.
Perils of urban life.

Dude whaaaaaaat???

Toutes ces mûres ne sont pas mûres.
("Not all these blackberries are ripe", where "mûres" (blackberries) and "mûres" (ripe" are spelled the same in French).
laternamagicalux
Not all ripe are blackberries?
adventureswithadhd
I’ll stick to my mulberries
textilelover
Speaking of invasive fruiting plants.
I like the fruit as well, but they are just impossible to kill if they are growing somewhere bad, like, say, up against your foundation...
NeverShaveYourDuck
Makes for a tasty jam, but requires a blood sacrifice. Them thorns are no joke.

The native ones are worse.
BlindGardener
Do you like blackberries or raspberries more?
KaijuIsekai
I love raspberries! I never eat blackberries; I think gorging on them as a child ruined them for me.
FetteredJuvenescence
Blackberries, hands down. And I DO like raspberries, but blackberries beat them by a country mile.
laternamagicalux
I prefer blue raspberries over blackberries, but raspberries over both of them. All three grow about as commonly around where I live. All three are good, but blue raspberries and raspberries are nice straight of the bush while blackberries win from being baked in a pie or made into jam.
Grinch01
Fuck that shit i fight since 7 years with that shit ans it comes back every fucking year if you plant it dont ever dream of getting rid of it in the future and Spikes are the worst part
katziewolf
I just made blackberry jam yesterdy.
hobostew
These cover literally half the state. yes evasive AF. But hey, free fruit. Glad that ours are finally producing hear in Kitsap.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Fuck you blackberries. You're such a tasty invasive bastard that is impossible to get rid of

Wow, almost exactly what I had to say
bbrtki
And i'll happily spread them in every weed filled corner I can find.
More food for the birds. And shelter for the animals.
Robtheshaman
I planted them in my backyard as they arent invasive where I am :) they are so delicious
OMGamIImguringCorrectly
Glyphosate entered the chat.

Calm down Monsanto, you're already poisoning tens of thousands of native forest here thanks to trump admin.
hipifreq
It's really not that easy. Foliar spray does nothing. It's got to be injected directly into the base at just the right time.
revoltingdeceased
What? They are super easy. Here in the desert they just die.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Not in my desert. They are from Iran, so not alien to drier environments
revoltingdeceased
Your desert is weak then. Too much rain has made it mild and soft. Yeah, they grow were there is water.
isetprettygirlsonfire
If you don't know how to find water in the desert, that's a you problem
lurkerthatoccationallywantstocomment
Himalayan blackberries. Tasty and plentiful in the PNW, but also invasive as fuck. Water under the bridge though, we'll never get rid of them
ProcrastinatingWork
Please god don't plant these!!! There are plenty around the parks if you want some free berries. Luther Burbank...
bbrtki
Happy they are here, coz they're very tasty ^^
There's a variant which is a little less sour, and has no thorns.
Those are great for your own garden, as its a lot less invasive.
Lardzor
This is what I think of when I think of blackberry bushes.

Goats. Lots of goats.
Of course then you'll have a goat problem.
Rogan josh. Goat rogan josh.
speedonthis
The solution to a goat problem is a community barbeque.
sparmek
The problem is the seeds are in the soil everywhere now. So you could have a natural forest biome, but if a tree gets uprooted, the soil is disturbed enough for the invasive vine to take hold and start spreading very quickly. Goats are great at holding it at bay but unfortunately doesn't get rid of the root
InnerBushman
Interesting. Here in Poland it's common but I never knew it comes from Himalayas. Not have I ever heard anyone mentioning it's invasive.
lurkerthatoccationallywantstocomment
Despite its name, the Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) is not native to the Himalayas. Its true origin traces back to Armenia and northern Iran in Eurasia
The plant quickly spread and naturalized across mild, damp environments, becoming highly invasive in regions like the Pacific Northwest and California. It is now classified as a noxious weed in many areas because its dense, thorny thickets crowd out native plant species and disrupt local wildlife
Aranon1183
Better than the shit-ass invasive Russian olive trees we have in Colorado! Their silvery-white leaves are pretty, but they are covered in thorns and they don't produce olives!
InnerBushman
What a shitty name for trees that don't produce olives!
Aranon1183
Yea! Try spending a summer working to clear cut them! I was forever covered in scratches and borderline dying due to their pollen! Plus, they really like to grow on the super steep river banks!
ThatSonOfaBitch
My favorite kind of berry. Easy to grow, plentiful, and uninvited.
animatronicChristmasChickens
until you have a hedge of it
donthaveonebrojustlurk
Also they crowd out the native blackberries that we have up here. Luckily I have a patch on my land.

I have mint in my yard. At least these give you berries.
brattysubsam
Wild mint makes great sun tea! Get a large mason jar, fill with water and a fuckton of mint. Let sit in the sun all day. Enjoy
LeftRightThere
I’d rather eat berries lol
brattysubsam
Same, but if mint is available, make mint tea
