Скачать или смотреть Dewberry Picking 2025

Video is of me picking dewberries along the edges of the stormwater storage area across the street from my house on April 28th, 2025. The name "dewberry" applies to basically any wild running blackberry, at least in the Deep South. The two species we have in SE Georgia are Rubus hispida which is what's across the street and Rubus trivialis. I don't see R. trivialis much, and when I do it's in deep shade in a moist area and does not look like it's doing well. That makes me think wonder if its just R. hispida growing under nonideal conditions.

As I said every time I went out to pick berries growing up, watch for snakes! Other than intentionally handling snakes, I can't think of a better way to have a dangerous encounter with a venomous snake than blackberry picking, especially if you are doing it early or late in the day.
