  I had exactly the same on my Waldo a few days ago (that's not a euphemism - it's a variety of blackberry) - I cut it off at ground level. It won't come to much.
  Likely due to weather-based stress at some point.
  I've got plenty more normal ones and they're growing at speed

  It's a form of fasciation - see this thread for other examples:

  A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
