I ate my first trailing blackberries of the season today. Yum. I was
growing along the bike trail I walk along. This is the second kind of wild
berry that I have found in my wandering at lunch. The first was Salmonberry.

This spring I kept an eye out for this vine (Rubus ursinus). A native to
the Seattle area. This is the  ancestor of the
Boysenberry<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boysenberry>,
and the Marionberry <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marionberry>. The vines
are either male or female. From my collecting a month ago, I have 2 or 3 of
each gender growing in pots. It should be pretty easy to do some breeding
experiments with this plant since all you need to do is collect pollen from
one plant and apply it to another. The only tricky part is keeping wild
pollen out, and this is solved using a bag. Has anyone done any breeding
with Rubus ursinus?
