Creeping bramble in C2 pot
Common names: Creeping bramble, Chinese bramble, groundcover bramble
Scientific name: Rubus tricolor
Family: Rose family
Plant history & use:
Evergreen groundcover raspberry species with edible berries. Often used in cultivation for its effective ability to keep weeds at bay. Berries about 2 cm in diameter ripen from summer to early autumn when they turn a deep red color. Originates from southwestern China.
Creeping bramble is a very attractive groundcover precisely because it is low-growing, effective in its ability to outcompete weeds, and evergreen. This is the main purpose of the plant, but on top of that it also offers edible berries. This plant can become a favorite for those seeking effective and useful groundcovers with the aim of easing weed control, for example in a food forest.
A dense and beautiful dark green foliage that covers the creeping horizontal stems. Blooms white from late spring to summer. The stems are covered with soft glandular hairs, these are not thorns.
Cultivation:
Thrives in partly shaded to shaded locations, but also does well in direct sun. Prefers well-drained clay soils. However, it is hardy in almost all soil types: calcareous, sandy, and acidic soils for example. Hardy to about -15ºC.
Ripe berries turn a deep red color in late summer to early autumn. It is good to harvest regularly to allow the plant to produce new berries.
Spreads via horizontal shoots that then take root. Once established, creeping bramble can spread 2 meters per year. Can be pruned to keep within set boundaries. It is recommended to plant with trees that are already somewhat established, as creeping bramble is very eager to take water and nutrients for its own growth.
Very drought-tolerant once established.
