Invasive, to me, means that the plant is passionate about being with people. I love my blackberry stands on my property. I will dig up the younger, newer blackberry plants' roots, cut and dry them and utilize the roots as a strong anti-diarrheal. The tannins are strong and the astringent nature stops diarrhea quickly. One cup of blackberry tea will not only pucker my lips lol, but by the time I am done with my cup of tea, diarrhea has stopped also. I live in Washington and the local tribes have historically used blackberry roots in this manner.

How cute that you can assign your own private meaning to real life words. Invasive is an essential term as it is and is used to denote the force with which species take over native habitat on which inhabitants rely.

Great video! Blackberry vines (the early, greener ones) can be easily stripped of thorns and used for weaving or broken down for cordage. Also, the brand new leaf buds taste to me like coconut and is a fave spring treat. Thanks for sharing about the abundant gifts that many of our 'invasives' have to offer. 🌱💚

Always such excellent information in her videos. Is blackberry invasive all around the US, or just in the Southwest?
@mountainroseherbs
2 жыл бұрын
Great question! The Himalayan blackberry was originally introduced in North America as a food crop but quickly became invasive in the US, specifically the Southwest and Pacific Northwest. There are many other species of native blackberry that grow in eastern Canada as well as some smaller trailing species in Washington going down the West Coast. From my research, it seems hard to pinpoint exactly where blackberry originated but the main difference (at least in the PNW) is that Himalayan blackberries have 3-5 leaflets and are more thorny while our native species tends to only have 3. I'd suggest doing a little research for your specific region to learn more! - Gracie

Hi there! This video is about Himalayan Blackberry which is invasive in the Pacific Northwest. We do also have different varieties of native blackberry as well in the PNW. Our native trailing blackberry has three narrow pointed leaflets while Himalayan blackberry has five rounded leaflets. This video is specifically about how to use an invasive species to both help you and your local environment. You can still work with your local native species in the same way! I hope that helps, ~ Gracie

what type of blackberry has round leaves? I've never seen such a thing and I'm interested in the name. I checked with Mr Google and he doesn't know either. I live in the US Pacific NW so what they are showing here is one of a few types of blackberry we have and I'm very familiar with....thanks for sharing your wild blackberry type with me.

Try searching "Himalayan blackberry." While the leaves are not round, they are rounded at the tips in comparison to other native varieties of blackberry. Himalayan blackberry is what is covering most of the Pacific Northwest US. You can tell the difference between our native species and Himalayan because the leaves are slightly rounded and our native trailing blackberry is more pointed and often vining on the ground instead of standing up in a bush.

Perhaps the commenter wasn’t paying close enough attention when she was speaking about the differences between poison oak which she mentioned was rounded vs blackberry which she said was toothed. 🤷🏼♀️ I really love the native species with the pretty blueish vines as well as the evergreen (?) blackberries which get huge and are super sweet! Like everyone, I have tons of Himalayans close to home, sounds like some great ways to make use of them!
