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.

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.
