Allegheny blackberry, is a hardy, deciduous shrub native to much of eastern North America. It grows in a full sun to partial shade environment, though it will produce less fruit and flowers when placed in partially shaded conditions. Allegheny Blackberry is somewhat drought tolerant once established but grows best in moist conditions particularly when producing fruit.
This Native Bare Roots blackberry species blooms in late spring to early summer, producing clusters of white flowers that attract a wide variety of pollinators, including native bees, honeybees, and butterflies. In late summer ripe blackberries are produced which support numerous birds and mammals such as robins, cedar waxwings, foxes, and black bears. Allegheny blackberry is also a host plant for several butterfly and moth species, including the Lo moth and the Stripped Hairstreak, whose larvae feed on its leaves.
In gardens, Allegheny blackberry can be used to create wildlife-friendly hedgerows, for erosion control on slopes, or naturalized thickets that provide both food and shelter for fauna. Its dense, thorny canes offer excellent nesting habitat and protection for small birds and mammals.
