@mckinley@twtxt.net Wow, I was not aware, that there are different kinds of blackberries. But of course there are. Everything has all sorts of different species, why would it be different with these tasty guys? :-)
I just read up on them and – surprise, surprise – it turns out, the Himalayans are not native to most of Europe either. Doh! It gets even more interesting, their origin is unclear. Maybe Armenia and the Caucasus region. Fascinating!
