Woody Plants in Bramble Plantings

Return to Weeds

Woody plants (various) can grow within bramble plantings, complicating production and interfering with growth. Birds resting on trellises or canes tend to defecate seeds of unwanted woody species (e.g., mulberry or hackberry) into bramble plantings.
