Seasonal Timing for Effective Himalayan Blackberry Removal
Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) is a vigorous and invasive plant that can quickly take over gardens and landscapes. Removing them effectively requires understanding the best seasonal timing to ensure maximum success. In short, the best times for removal are late winter to early spring and late summer to early fall. Knowing when to act can save you time, money, and effort in the long run.
