Himalayan Blackberry
Rubus armeniacus
In the United States:
Invasive
· also called himalayan blackberry, armenian blackberry
Listed as invasive. Check local regulations — several jurisdictions restrict planting.
Honeybees visit Himalayan blackberry for its abundant nectar and pollen, a valuable early-summer forage source where it grows. Bloom peaks in June, providing a reliable flow before many other plants flower. It is an aggressive invasive that forms impenetrable thickets and displaces native vegetation, so support local control efforts and favour native Rubus species instead.
