We discovered another treasure this morning. It's either blackberry or raspberry bushes. Is there's any way to differenciate between the two before the berries ripen? Thanks!
Yes, the most obvious way is to look at the thorns. Blackberry thorns are cat's claw shaped and quite sturdy. Raspberries have lots and lots of weak bristles. Also, the canes are different, and the leaves, but you should be able to tell by the thorns.
It's blackberries! Thanks for making the Id so easy! When I went out to check I found more. Any tips on how to maintain/control them? I'm only good at picking and eating them right now. ;o) Carol
