***************
▶ "Rubus argutus —commonly known as sawtooth blackberry or tall blackberry— is a North American species of prickly bramble in the rose family (Rosaceae). It is a perennial plant native to the eastern and south-central United States.

R. argutus usually forms woody shrubs or vines, up to 80 inches in height (2 m), with thorns on stems, leaves, and flowers. The flowers have five white petals with light green sepals, borne in mid-spring. Second-year plants are capable of growing the fruit which gives the plant's common name, the blackberry. The plant dies after bearing fruit, but regrows from the underground portion of the plant."
