If you've ever come out to the Pacific Northwest, especially west of the Cascades, you may have noticed that many roadsides and open lots are absolutely choked with blackberry thickets. Yes, the berries and leaves are edible, as with other Rubus species. But Himalayan blackberry--which is actually from Armenia--is an exceptionally aggressive invasive species here. And, as with many other invasive species, it was intentionally brought here with zero thought as to what ecological impact it would have.

Luther Burbank had this idea to breed vegetables and fruits that had superior flavor and which would be able to survive being shipped over rail across the country. Unfortunately, he was also a eugenicist who decided that the same principles of breeding for the "best qualities" should also be applied to our own species--and he wasn't alone in his opinion at the turn of the century.

It's definitely for the best that he never got around to putting that particular odious idea into practice. But it makes me feel just a little more satisfied when I'm able to successfully oust one of his pernicious blackberry canes from the ground--symbolic of good riddance to bad rubbish.

My ‘Desert KIng’ fig tree was so productive that I tried dehydrating figs for the first time. It took 14 hours but the results are yummy!

Plant of the Day

Thursday 28 December 2023

The evergreen Mahonia eurybracteata subsp. ganpinensis 'Soft Caress' (Oregon grape) is a compact shrub with a soft feel to the foliage unlike many other Mahonia varieties in cultivation. There are delicate spires of yellow, honey-scented flowers in late summer and autumn, followed by blue-black berries.

The famous tree at the @PDXJapaneseGdn 🍁 Chris took this photo last Saturday morning and was excited to be able to capture the blanket of leaves on the mossy floor.
