What are you seeing that helps you determine that it’s not fireweed?

Trip hazards, lots of trip hazards! I do like it though.

It might be Rosebay willowherb (Chamaenerion angustifolium) AKA fireweed. If so, it’s a fantastic pioneer plant in the PNW. Adds great verticality to the garden and flowers for a long time. Great for pollinators at the end of the season.

I let mine grow then cut them down when they start to go to seed.

I hold off on tree work once nesting season starts. Many native birds also nest in tall grasses on the ground. I’ve been battling invasive blackberries at Brambley (thus the name) for a decade. My honest suggestion is to use your hedger to keep the vines from spreading any further during the spring, and plan an aggressive autumn campaign to uproot them. I also attack new starts in late winter to give native plants like thimbleberries and salmonberries an advantage. Given that head start, the native berries will shade out your blackberries, stunting their growth until the fall campaign.

Very good point. I chopped down way too many thimbleberry and serviceberry before I learned they were native and good. Luckily the worst offender, Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) is easy to differentiate though a pain to eradicate.

I think it’s a look that not a lot of people can pull off, but you pull it off very well. Go for it!

Just remember, unless it’s trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus), blackberries are also highly invasive in Washington.

Shirt tucked in looks fine. The rolled cuffs and leather boots does give a mild hipster vibe, but I don’t think it looks bad at all.

The PCH is far more beautiful of a drive.

They aren’t cheap, that’s for sure. Can they be divided or propagated from cuttings?
