This community is for identifying, promoting, and discussing plants native to California, as well as encouraging their use in landscapes and gardens. Questions about identification are welcomed, but the community should be only ever considered a second opinion for foraging purposes.
Aw shit I gotta remember how to ungeolocate my photos so I can show off these wild blackberry bushes I visit every year on there and pretend I don't know if they're edible
There's absolutely loads of them around Snelling and Mariposa. It's a little out of control, though Mariposa 's been cleaning up the woods surrounding the creek, so they may not be as thick as they once were.
No no see I totally don't know what these berries I've been picking for the last decade are someone please come help me identify them and maybe take home a jar or jam.
I'm mostly just cranky that these wild bushes are doing better than the bush I'm trying to cultivate. It's probably because they're in a creek with a lot of shade and the trees around my personal blackberry bush need another decade. I even have this ag textbook a friend wrote and short of a soil sample I'm out of ideas. I'd ask him in person but our séances don't reach the east coast, the long distance charges are ridiculous.
