I have been observing a patch of wild Rubus ursinus (common names
California blackberry, California dewberry, Douglas berry, Pacific
blackberry or Pacific dewberry and trailing blackberry) on my lunchtime
walks. These are a mix of male or female vines. There was ripe fruit back
in early summer. Today I noticed one female vine in bloom. Is this unusual?
Has anyone seen this wild berry in bloom this late in the season?
