About

Rubus laciniatus, the cutleaf evergreen blackberry or evergreen blackberry, is a European species of Rubus. It is an introduced species elsewhere, often being considered invasive.

How to grow it

Wild Rubus laciniatus has been grown for its fruits since 1770. Several commercially important blackberry cultivars have also been bred from it.

Where it grows

While originally native to Central and Northern Europe, it is an introduced species in Oceania and North America, and has become a weed and invasive species in forested habitats in the United States and Canada, particularly in the Northeast and along the Pacific Coast, as well as in Australia and New Zealand.
