Where does Himalayan blackberry grow?

Answer 1

Himalayan blackberry [Rubus armeniacus] tolerates a wide range of soil textures and soil pHs. For example, it handles barren, infertile soils. But there are three conditions that Himalayan blackberry prefers: sun, soils that are moist or wet, and sites that have been disturbed. It particularly likes locations along rivers and streams, or in creek gullies. For it counts on its seeds being spread not just by birds and mammals, but also by waterbodies. Indeed, its seeds can survive long distance travel by water. It also likes room in which to spread, such as along roadsides, and in pastures. For another way that it reproduces is by its long canes arching down to the ground and rooting.

Answer 2

Himalayan blackberry are European species of blackberry that are highly invasive and difficult to control. Originally introduced for fruit production, they are now naturalized and widespread throughout the Pacific Northwest. They are easy to spot by their large, vigorous, thicket-forming growth and sharp spines covering the stems.

Answer 3

America, Australasia, and Europe are the places where Himalayan blackberry is invasive. The plant in question (Rubus armeniacus) behaves beautifully in its native Armenia and Iran but aggressively elsewhere.
