Hey chums,

This plant is growing in my allotment. Looks like a blackberry bush to me. Is it? There's a close up of a flower in the corner.



Thanks

Loving it, my family love picking blackberries in the local parks to make a crumble in the Summer, looks like we have another source!

Once that area's cleared we'll have to see if there's any way to attach it to a frame...

it's not easy keeping a wild bramble in check, and (for various weird and fascinating biological reasons) each plant has its own kind of berry, so you may find yours produces great fruit or terrible fruit with only a handful of round bits. So see what happens but be prepared to replace it with a commercial (possibly thornless) variety of known quality
