>>Very interesting--here in the Northern Calif foothills, cultivated, native,
and introduced Himalayan blackberries all flower about a month after all
cultivars of apples..>
Odd, how the bloom times are so different.
Here in Granite Falls (~60 mi. NE of Seattle) our native blackberry (Rubus ursinus) blooms almost exactly in sync with my apple orchard in May. Our invasive Himalayan black berry is about a month later so there CAN be a little overlap.
