Wineberry is a species with thorny or bristly stems and compound leaves, typically observed in bushy, perhaps slightly tangled forms. Its canes, capable of reaching heights up to 8 feet (2.44 meters), display a striking mix of erect, arching, and sometimes trailing habits. The plant is distinctive for its flowers and fruit, which intriguingly develop on last year’s growth rather than emerging shoots. This particular species produces fruit during the summer, presenting juicy berries that are attractive to both humans and wildlife.
