There are any number of good field guides at your local book store. You may not be able to make a positive ID until you have fruit. The fruit of wild brambles is variable with some okay, some bad and some great. Some of the best bramble fruit I ever had was from wild Himalaya berries in the Puget Sound area.

Subject: [NAFEX] Wild Brambles

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.
