Rubus fruticosus - Bramble


This bramble was one I came across in Highfield park in December. It has arching stems with various shaped prickles and roots when they touch the ground. It can usually be found in hedgerows and scrub. If found in May – August, it would be found to have white or pink flowers 2-3cm across and fruits of familiar blackberries. It thrives in sunlight and well drained, moist soils.
