Two versions. I like the boader leafed ones better. More tart & sweet at the same time with less seeds. We have the little mountain blackberries too, but they're hader to find right here near the house. Lots more up on the mountain (<a href="http://castlegrok.com/mountaineering-in-five-fingers/" rel="nofollow">St Helens</a>). I just use a big green stick and more muscle most the time. It's longer, free, and you can toss it in the brush when you're done so you don't have to carry it home :) @phareon

Those blackberry's blow my mind. I LOVE blackberry's but can never justify spending the money on them. And that reminds me, I need a machete and a reason to use it. Crazy, crazy stuff!

Just about takes a machete to get to a lot of it. There is one little swamp-ish area here where plum trees have completely taken over. They're practically as thick as blackberry brush. @phareon,
