This covers a large number of plants found growing in the woods and fields surrounding us.
Brambles are, in some ways, the perfect home garden plant.
They are relatively easy to grow, requiring little more than a patch of full sun and some well-drained soil. They are highly perishable or often unavailable commercially, so the home planting assures a supply of this delicious treat. Plants belonging to the Rubus genus typically have perennial roots with shoots that are biennial. Raspberries and blackberries are the two most common bramble crops. Red, black, and purple raspberries are the three most commonly grown raspberry types.
