Cutleaf Evergreen Blackberries! The fruit of Rubus laciniatus on this plant is a little later than on the Rubus armeniacus plant across the road perhaps due its shadier situation. The fruit of R. laciniatus forms in clusters while that of R. armeniacus seems to be spread along a stem. <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/31731/oregon_blackberry.html" title="Oregon Blackberry"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2428/31731_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=I1ZRkXxfDdajh1u6tHf9ltN1dK8%3D" width="152" height="152" alt="Oregon Blackberry A delicious berry that now grows all over the state like weeds is in season.

      Thanks so much. Of course from the eater’s point of view it would be nice if they all ripened at the same time. These bushes have very sharp recurved thorns so fewer times extricating oneself from them, the better! Posted 6 years ago

        Jackpot! I love blackberries :)

        I don't know what your berry picking outfit is, but here are some tidbits that I've picked up: Wear long sleeves. You may be sweaty, but at least your arms won't be mincemeat. Also, wear a garden glove at least on your non-dominant hand. You can use the gloved hand to push thorny branches out of the way and then reach in with your other hand to pick the berries. If you glove both hands, I suggest cutting the tips of the glove on your dominant hand. These precautions should prevent you from bleeding to death ;P.         Posted 6 years ago

          Christine, to local blackberry connoisseurs R. laciniatus are inferior to R. armeniacus. Something about taste and number and size of seeds. Your picking tips sound like good advice. Thanks for those. My biggest fear is getting trapped by the thorns and not being able to escape. It seems that any motion causes further entrapment. Those thorns are truly wicked!

            Ohhhh, I no nothing about differences between species. I just see a blackberry and eat it without discernment. I agree that getting trapped in thorns is a horrible prospect. So very painful and every move makes it worse. This past spring, I tried to cut through a meadow and didn't think the thorns would be that bad. I was wrong, and my gloves got so stuck that I had to leave them behind. Posted 6 years ago
