Description
Rubus rubercadaver (also called Bramble, among many other common names) is a deciduous shrub native to Europe and parts of Asia. It has a woody stem with thorns and white flowers. It grows in moist woodlands, hedgerows, and grasslands.
Uses & Benefits
Rubus rubercadaver is used as an ornamental plant in gardens and landscaping. It is also used for erosion control and as a ground cover.
Flower, Seeds and Seedlings
The flower of Rubus rubercadaver is white and has five petals. The seed is a small, dark brown achene. The seedlings have cotyledons that are oval and hairy.
Cultivation and Propagation
Rubus rubercadaver can be propagated from seed, cuttings, or division. Seeds should be sown in the spring in a cold frame. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, 7 - 10cm with a heel, July/August in a frame. Division in March or October. Larger divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions. We have found it best to pot up the smaller divisions and grow them on in light shade in a cold frame until they are well established before planting them out in late spring or early summer.
