Description
Distribution and habitat
The species is native to Europe and is naturalized along the northern Pacific coast of Canada and the United States (British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon).[2] It is one of the most common species of bramble in the British Isles, found in most vice-counties, apart from the far north. Its preference for neutral to slightly alkaline soils places it among a minority of European Rubus species.[4]
