Description: Rubus bifrons (Himalayan blackberry) or Rubus armeniacus This has oval, serrated edge leaves, a challenging invasive species. I often carry a pair of garden snippers when I walk, to cut off these when they extend across the sidewalk or trail, they grow rapidly. Description of leaves from
Burke Museum Leaves mostly 5-foliate, the leaflets broadly oblong to ovate, short acuminate, 6-12 cm. long, sharply serrate, bright green and glabrous above, grayish-woolly beneath. Seen while walking in Lake Forest Park, Washington IMG_20140629_122702_259. Date: 29 June 2014, 12:27. Source:
