Unfortunately, this meant invasive Asian blackberries took over the back yard, and they are absolutely Hell to get rid of. Huge thorns that go right through leather gloves and long, branching stems that get entangled with each other. They are escapees from commercial cultivation, now illegal in some states. Much of the front yard is ground cover, not grass, and I'd like to replace all the grass with this plant which started growing here on its own. Probably need to plant some trees so the grass will not thrive in the shade.
