Can anyone suggest a good reference for Wild Brambles? I'd like to identify what I've got (red, black, etc.) before fruiting. I cleared out a bunch of speckled alder last year, mowed the newly cleared ground with a rotary style mower (DR) and this year the Brambles are having a field day. First year canes 6' tall! The cleared area is along a field that was being encroached and there were brambles in the border area. I seem to inadvertently done just what they wanted!

I saw 3 wild turkey hens near the brambles yesterday. And to think I spent time (and money) planting six Heritage this spring.

Andrew
