One of the abandonned plots near mine is about to be cleared using some form of chemical. There is this unusual plant, I assume it is a blackberry but is not like any I have ever seen before. Does anyone recognise it? Is it worth saving/moving?

Rubus laciniatus, or the cutleaf evergreen blackberry.

It looks like a blackberry plant my son gave me (along with a Goji berry plant)!  It's now down the allotment and I suppose the label has bleached or blown away.  I'm off down there manana for some spuds, I'll see if I can remember to check.

Cheers,    Tony.

That is the one -- thornless too, and well worth saving imho

I can't identify it, but I would definately save it.
I would love to have that incorporated into my hedgerow.

Looking at the top photo i would say if that's thornless i would hate to fall in to a thorny one !

Thanks for your help folks. I think I will try to save it.

yup an Oregon thornless blackberry

"Oregon Thornless" is one cultivar of Rubus laciniatus - but I don't think this plant is that cultivar, there are definte thorns in the photos.

Silly Sunny got confused between the photos   Sorry everyone  

It is however a cut leaf blackberry with thorns which is worth saving nontheless. A little read through this other thread might help you dcide if you have the space to keep it,Manteiga

I didn't notice the thorns either sunny 

It just had the right leaves
