Possibly the silliest gardening question ever asked about bramble.

Hi,

I've just taken over the care of a blackberry/bramble bush and I've hit a question I can't find a definitive answer to but your bound to know.

My father, and some sites around, say that it dies in Winter. But I was convinced, along with several other non-gardening types I know, that it was evergreen.

So will my bramble bush die back this winter?

Thanks

I would agree with brambles being semi evergreen as it takes some very hard weather to remove all the leaves.
As for its common name being `raspberry', i think not.

I actually wondered what the date was when I saw the question then doubted my first reaction that they are deciduous. The first few sites returned on a google search, such as Wikipedia, don't mention this property of the plant at all.
