Rubus flagellaris
Common name: Northern Dewberry
Great little ground cover for well drained soils in light shade. Short stature and long running on open and not so open ground. It does not tend to have tons of thorns, but the ones it does have it uses, so bare feet are not recommendable. The berry is like any other blackberry I've eaten only with a larger pit/seed/stone whatever you call it and it tends to be tart. Fall color is good and the sunnier the spot the more purple it will be otherwise orange is popular with the leaves in fall.
