| Abstract | Himalayan blackberry, also known as Armenian blackberry, is a widespread invasive species in western Oregon and also grows in some eastern Oregon riparian zones. Commonly found in riparian areas, it also grows along roadsides and fence corridors and in open woodlands, logged areas, and other disturbed sites. It grows best on deep, fertile soils but can colonize a wide variety of sites if soil moisture is adequate. Himalayan blackberry tends to dominate sites, displacing and shading out native species and significantly reducing plant diversity (Figure 1). Growth is best in full sun, but blackberry plants can survive in part shade. |
