R.phoenicolasius is tall, up to 6ft. high apparently!<br /><br />Another massive colony of Rubus tricolor is behind the tyre depot at West Vale, itself behind the filling station/car wash in Saddleworth Rd.<br />Here it is is romping along the banks of the Black Brook behind the industrial estate.

Chinese Bramble has hairless,shiny green leaves like the one pictured and is a similar shape to our common bramble whereas Japanese Wineberry has oval pointed leaves. I have seen it with Peachysteve who knew what is was and this one is identical.<br /><br />Ali.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05262526310745686639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945686662242865677.post-49938001830062177682014-06-18T13:01:11.020+01:002014-06-18T13:01:11.020+01:00The Bramble is from Japan.

It's Rubus phoenicolasius, Japanese Wineberry.<br /><br />It's not in West Yorkshire Plant Atlas, nor in Murgatroyd, though he lists 25 Rubus for our area. Don Grant of YNU is an authority.<br /><br />R.phoenicolasius has escaped also at Copley Valley, Ogden Reservoir and the primary school at Southowrham. It spreads by seeding as well as runners. It's worrying, but the berries are delicious. See Bob Flowerdew's Fruit Book. <br /><br />Sorry, I can't direct you to any R.tricolor for comparison.Steve Blacksmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795912451617499115noreply@blogger.com
