I certainly will remove any I get in the future, not just because it scratched me to pieces but also to protect the environment. And you are right the wildlife don't need blackberries as I've got heaps of native plants and flowering gums for all the wildlife including all the darling little flying foxes I forget to mention. I tried to contact you to thank you for helping me rethink this but couldn't work out how to comment on your blog.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439426900538969302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661292503186646927.post-60272622900628732982016-04-06T21:18:47.333+10:002016-04-06T21:18:47.333+10:00Those blackberry bushes can be vicious Mel.

I wonder how far the seeds have been spread now. I think you should have removed that plant as soon as you saw it. Or asked John to do it for you. Perhaps your local council has an invasive plant officer to assist you. The wildlife does not need blackberries and neither does your rather lovely garden.MLM247https://www.blogger.com/profile/06365562372896637044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661292503186646927.post-15049868430573865432016-04-06T08:34:33.596+10:002016-04-06T08:34:33.596+10:00That blackberry can be a bad plant...it grows so f...That blackberry can be a bad plant...it grows so fast, we had lots at Gisborne.
