Huge bowls of blackberries every day.

Have you perhaps encountered Miles Harvey, an 80s associate and author there (Hinsdale)?

You ask questions I cannot answer as a newbie resident of the Great Smoky Mountains. I'm certain there are billions, possible trillions of wild blackberries growing in this area that includes the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

I also have them taking over the yard. And I need to wade in and trim the trees and things growing between the stickers.
I think the having big nasty stickers might deem them wild.
I did not go to Skyline Drive where a Wild Mountain Blackberry SUndae is many dollars, having said to family that I would have brought not wild not mountain blackberries.... but methinks the stickers make them wild.

We do that with blueberries.

One reason I'm certain the cabin would be strangled by vines if not trimmed back, regularly.

Vines are difficult to capture amid all other greenery, unless one gets up close, like I was able to for this picture.

I'm convinced, if they didn't die out in Winter, the cabin would be enveloped within a year.

Honeysuckle, wild grape and wild blackberries dominate.
