Blackberry forms dense, long-lived clumps of thorny vegetation. It scrambles over the ground and low plants, has an extensive rhizome system, occasionally layering and seeding. Blackberry tolerates most soil types, drought and flood but is intolerant of dense shade. It is common in hedgerows and open areas where weeds have been allowed to grow uncontrolled. It produces edible black berries in late summer.
Blackberry bramble has the scientific name Rubus fruticosus.
