This plant grows wild in the wetlands of South La. It is prolific and the fruit is delicious. It can be used in anyway a blackberry can be used. The fruit is generally larger than a native blackberry and they bloom and bear before the blackberry does. The white blooms are very pretty. I did not grow this plant in a bed as it was not needed. They were all over the area, in the woods, beside the road and in the ditches. It was very easy to gather a large amount without going far from home.
