| I don't have any of the Oregon ones, but believe they are probably the same as the small, wild blackberries that grow here in WA. If so, I can send you some. Cathy |

| Do you mean the Himalayan blackberry? I thought that 95%+ of the blackberry around was made of this invasive.... |

| The Himalayan blackberry is NOT the Oregon Blackberry unless someone moved Afghanistan and Pakistan without telling us! The Oregon Blackberry is the parent from which the Marrion Berry, Logan Berry, and Boysen Berry were hibridized. In Polk County there is little or no Oregon Blackberry left because the Himilayan has hibridized with the indiginous stock and corrupted it. |

| So, the plants along the Freeway and along disturbed areas are actually a native and not the Himalayan? Ross |

| Rubus ursinus is the native, small fruited, trailing-along-the-ground plant (this is the one you are thinking of.) Rubus discolor is the invasive Himalayan blackberry. Rubus leucodermis is the blackcap,or black raspberry, which also grows in the wilds of the PNW. With R. ursinus, only female plants will bear fruit. If someone sends you all male plants, you will have only little white flowers (if roots are taken from the same 20'x20' patch, there is a good chance that they will be of the same sex.) |
