Additional Info
Wineberry plants can grow so thick and tall, reaching 6 to 9 feet high, that they prevent forest regeneration, obliterate wildflowrs, and make it difficult, if not impossible, for hikers, hunters and wildlife to traverse infested forests and fields, snarling them up in tangles of hazardous branches.
Similar-looking native: Common blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis) might be confused with wineberry because it has prickly canes and similar summer fruits.
Method of removal: Pull up by roots or cut and paint
