Hi Folks,

This has sprouted up in my garden,  have seen it before but just pulled it up.  It has very sharp thornes a bit like a bramble and is tough to pull up.  I seem to have a bit more of it this year.

To give an idea of size the photos show plants about 5" tall.

    I think it is a bramble. Possibly a seedling from something like Oregon Thornless, reverting to its thorny past

    Thanks Nut.  Ill try digging it out.  I only have experience of the common blackberry bramble and the leaves looked all wrong for that.  It's only reared it's head in the past couple of years, so have no idea where it came from as had no previous problems with it.

    Hi Edd, yes I've just looked it up and it's spot on.  Thanks both of you.
