You *cultivate* blackberries? boggle You *want* them in your yard?

There are 230 species of blackberry family in the USA. The most
obnoxious one is the Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor), however it
produces large delicious fruit.

However, many of the native blackberries are small creeping plants that
produce small fruit that is even better tasting.
