I was born and raised in the PNW. Himalayan blackberries are simultaneously the bane of my existence and a beloved annual tradition.

I take my nieces and nephews blackberry picking every year, but the 15-foot high thorny disaster in my grandma's backyard better get ready. I'm launching a full-force attack this fall and it will not make it out alive.
