Unlike the upright, invasive Himalayan blackberry, this variety has a low, trailing habit, weaving gracefully through meadows, woodland edges, and streambanks. Its delicate white to pink-tinged blossoms in spring give way to clusters of small but intensely flavorful blackberries by summer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Native \u0026amp; Non-invasive: A true California native, unlike the aggressive Himalayan blackberry, this species supports local ecosystems and wildlife.

Beloved by foragers, birds, and pollinators alike. Nobody likes those fat but tasteless blackberries from the store! Nothing is better than fresh picked when truly ripe instead of picking pre-maturely in order to extend the shelf life of the fruit. Wild blackberries taste nothing like the tasteless store-bought type.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ecological Value: Provides nectar for pollinators, fruit for wildlife, and cover for small animals.
