      Himalayan blackberries are a huge issue here in the PNW. They are imported and invasive. Also delicious! But they annihilate native plants.

          There are also native blackberries! But most of what you see in the valleys are the Himalayan variety.

          The native blackberries do not form a hedge or grow on top of things. They’re more of a ground cover. The berries are smaller, and in my opinion, tastier. They have much smaller stems as well.
