Himalayan creeping bramble (Rubus nepalensis)
Himalayan creeping bramble is a big name for a small plant.
Small but useful as it will cover any ground anywhere, himalayan creeping brambles
even do well here on the tarmac. Though it will tolerate deep shade it will fruit better with a bit of sun, creeping along the ground it never gets very high and it sends down roots as it goes. Single white flowers shoot up through the summer followed by shiny red bramble like fruits through late summer to autumn but you will need two to pollinate.
We like nibbling them as pottering about though they would make good jelly if you could be bothered to pick enough.
Please note, these plants are not self-fertile!
