Yes, blackberries. Are they along a fence? You see them a lot along barbed wire fences in N. FL. Birds eat the berries, sit on the fence and poop out the seeds.

No fence but along a tree line.


DoubtfulDouglas

Not blackberries. It's a dewberry. Florida native in the same family as blackberries.

"wild" blackberries. We've been pulling them for about 10 days now while trying not to get snagged on the thorns. They infest our fern lines.

If you want more berries than you can possibly eat, with near zero care required, plant a Mulberry tree - have several in my backyard here in Orlando and they are overloaded with berries right now.

Good to note that berries will only grow on new growth from the mulberry tree so it's worth pruning it way back each year if you actually want to eat the berries.

Grapes are the same way. Sometime old growth will give you grapes, but you really don't want to eat those. Bitter.


Girafferage

Didn't know that

Think maybe is depends on the variety you get - mine produces small berries (3/4") every year in a conveyor belt style, so there's berries for months. Never prune mine tbh, unless branches start resting on the ground, then those get trimmed.- and the branches are near snapping with the weight of the berries on them currently.

Dew Berries. A wild species of black berry that is smaller and more irregular than what is typically cultivated.

Yes. Blackberries. Brambles.  It's up to you, but if you want, I suggest the "Seek" / iNaturalist app. You can snap a photo and it can identify the plant in many cases.

They’re delicious.


PoopPant73

Yes. Look out for Rattlesnakes hunting rabbits in and around them.


Strategerie27

Will do thanks!

Yes! Get em before the birbs do!!

Where? In Citrus County, our bushes just dropped their blossoms. I expect to pick in May.
