Q&A – This plant is growing in my yard. What is it?
Question:
This plant is growing in my yard. What is it?
Answer:
This is a wild blackberry plant. UT/TSU Extension Agent Celeste Scott says you can keep it and pick the blackberries, but if you want to grow blackberries, she recommends purchasing a newer cultivar. These new cultivars will produce larger berries and are thornless.
