Need ID on thorny plant coming under fence
Comments (5)Greetings Jkament! Yes it does. I lost out on much of my harvesting any of the berries last year because of the drought where I am. There were a lot of blackberries, but they didn't mature properly due to the lack of rainfall. Actually the same thing happened to my muscadine grapes which like the blackberries grows wild all over the property. I hope they do better this year. So far this year we have been getting a good amount of rain, so I am hopeful. Here are a few pics of the blackberries from last year.

I have dug down 2+ ft and never found the end of a root. You might try Round-Up on it if you paint it on or cut out the bottom of a plastic milk carton and place it over the plant and spray thru the neck portion it would be safer than spraying the plant and overspray getting on nearby valuable plants....See MoreRed/White Thorny rose ID
Comments (3)It sounds very much like the hybrid tea Snowfire. So thorny that the mature canes cannot be touched without sticking your finger and no scent to speak of. Snowfire does not have long canes like most ht's in my experience, it is shaped more like a floribunda because of its width compared to height....See More- 8 years ago
