Is this Rubus arcticus? (not cloudberry - R Chamaemorus, which has white
flowers)? Vera brought some over to the urg meet a couple of years back
- mine is just showing its leaves.


After a search on Google, I'm fairly sure that what's all around us is
Rubus spectablilis, also called salmon berry. It grows to over 6 feet,
very prickly and invasive. When I first saw it flowering I thought it
very attractive, and wondered about using it as hedging. Now that I've
seen just what it can do, I've had second thoughts!
