Southern Dewberry (Rubus trivialis), Rosaceae Family, Texas native, perennial, blooms March - April, edible fruit

Southern dewberry is a very spiny vine that scrambles along the ground, or over and up other vegetation. It occurs natively on sandy soil but has adapted to other situations as well. It is commonly found in abondoned fields and in thickets, on open riverbanks and creekbanks and along railroad tracks and roadsides. Usually it is located in deeper soils of valleys rather than in shallow soils. The blooms are crinkled looking.

For more information, see its entry in the PlantFiles:
