I know the Himalayan blackberry and they are awful to have on your property. Each year all too much time is diverted towards controlling it and attempting to eliminate it. The birds (if they exist) eat them and spread the seeds. They pop up where you thought you’d already handled them. Ug.
We do collect them to make cobblers and such, but I would gladly do without that if I could rid us of them entirely.
My wife and I discovered some spearmint growing right by our house. So we just mow it into a patch and mulch around it: free mint and the bees love it! Fresh mojitos every summer lol.
The plants are nigh impossible to control or remove. They’re like mint; only plant it in the ground if you hate yourself and your neighbors :)
Thanks, I know what I’m planting!

Mint’s great.
