Description

Rubus laciniatus is a deciduous, bramble-forming shrub growing to 3 meters tall, with prickly shoots. The leaves are palmately compound, with five leaflets, each divided into deeply toothed subleaflets with jagged, thorny tips. The flowers have pink or white petals. Fruits are similar to the common blackberry, with a unique, fruitier flavour.

The fruits of this plant are eagerly consumed by a number of animal species, including many birds and mammals.[1] The thickets provide valuable cover for animals.[1]

Cultivation

Several commercially-important berry cultivars have been bred from this wild Rubus laciniatus species, which has been grown for its fruits since 1770.[1]
