  • Question

    Can you tell what type of berry plant this is and if it's one of the invasive species, such as himalayan blackberry. It is growing at the edge of a woods on my property in Princeton, MA. Thank you!

    Answer

    Dear LisaB, your image does not look like the invasive species you note. Those plants have a different inflorescence architecture. That written, I can't see much of the plant, so I can't tell you with confidence which species you have photographed, only that from what I can it appears to be a native species.
