this has appeared not too far from my raspberries - however it is a lot further away than the other new canes have grown around my original ones - plus when they grew they were green not red.

is it a weed bramble? am i looking after it and moving it later on or getting rid?

Its new bramble shoots,

though if it isnt Ive just pulled up rasberry shoots about 10m away from the  raspberry canes!!

but what kind of bramble?  it just doesn't look like the other new raspberry canes

[woodburner]

If it doesn't look like the other rasberry shoots then it's definitely blackberry, aka bramble.

But, it doesn't look like a bramble. Remember that berries grow from seed too the red hair look a bit like japanese wineberry so it might be that but bramble thorns look like rose thorns.

having looked at the bottom of the other canes, the do have a few red hairs - but it was in a patch i have beetroot plans for so it had to go!!

Looks a bit like the wild European bramble I posted a pic of a few weeks back.

They have cut leaves and very prickly stems and are not so vigorous as the usual ones.

But if it's in the wrong it's a weed, whatever it is

Must write a list.
