Information

This tree can be found along the Cob's way path in the Kanokolus bog preserve in Unity, ME. The common blackberry is a woody shrub that can grow up to 2-6 feet high. Leaves are compound and toothed. They are a dark green and either fall of in winter or wither. Twigs are typically brown or red in color. They occur in a variety of habitats including forests, meadows, fields, and cliffs. I chose to include this shrub as it was quite prevelant in several areas as well as for the wonderful berries that can be enjoyed during the summer!
