blackberry bush

Wild berry plant

A blackberry bush is a thorny shrub that produces blackberries—dark, sweet-tart berries made of clustered drupelets.

The plants grow vigorously, often forming dense, tangled thickets.

Wild blackberry bushes spread aggressively and can take over neglected areas: The old fence line was overgrown with blackberry bushes.
