We have all 3 wild blackberries here, including the native Pacific, which is the trailing blackberry that trips me in the woods; the Himalayan with its invasive, thickets with delicious berries; and the Evergreen with its finely dissected leaves, also invasive but not as overwhelming as the Himalayas. I took photos of all 3 growing together along our lane to the pump pasture. the back side of the Himalaya leaves is light.
