Final Thoughts

calvatus, and R. schlechtendalii (Tirmenstein 1989). Rubus discolor (Himalayan blackberry), native to western Europe, has become a pest plant in moist temperate regions of the world where it has been introduced. at least 2 reasons. First, Graber and Thompson (1978) found that 6,000 to 7,000 viable Rubus seeds/ha (2,400 to 2,800/ac) were deposited annually in northern hardwood forests in New England, making it difficult to determine the age o
