Rubus ulmifolius
Also called Zarzamora, Thornless elmleaf blackberry, Elm Leaf Blackberry, Elm Leaved Blackberry, Common Bramble, Elm Leaved Bramble, Giant Blackberry
Elmleaf blackberry is a vigorous, prickly bramble shrub that scrambles to 2 to 3 metres and produces dark, edible blackberries. It thrives in open, sunny sites, and its spineless cultivated forms are easier to harvest.
Rubus ulmifolius is a species of blackberry native to western and southern Europe and northwestern Africa. It has also become widely naturalised elsewhere in Europe, and in northern India, the Americas, southern Africa, and Australasia.
Rubus ulmifolius is found in its native range across Western Europe, from the Netherlands south to Spain and Portugal, in Britain and Ireland, as well as northwest Africa. It is naturalised in the west in the Americas (as well as southern South America) and Australasia.
