Discover the vibrant beauty and versatility of Rubus alleghaniensis or common blackberry. Native to East Canada and the US, including the mountains of North Carolina, this multi-stemmed shrub is a proud member of the rose family. Adorned with striking red-purple stems lined with prickles, Allegheny blackberry blooms in late spring or early summer, securing its position as a beacon of natural beauty.
The woody shrub yields canes that initially stand erect, bending with age to form a unique arching pattern. It's not just an elegant sight; the blackberry will re-root itself into the ground, transforming into a loose vegetative colony. Blackberry thrives in rich, fertile soil and amicably tolerates clay loam or rocky soil types.
Standing 3-6 ft. tall and spanning 6-12 ft. wide, blackberry sets itself apart with gland-tipped hairs covering the branches. Its palmately or pinnately compound summer foliage adopts captivating hues of orange, red, and purple during the fall. After its five-petaled flowers have had their display, you'll witness the emergence of thimble-shaped black berries, reminiscent of tantalizing raspberries.
Beyond its aesthetic allure, Allegheny blackberry plays a crucial role in local ecosystems. Offering a food source for pollinators, birds, and several mammal species, and year-round cover, it's a nod to the co-existence of beauty and biodiversity. Adorn your space with Allegheny blackberry and embrace the essence of natural magnificence.
