Thursday, December 9, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm – Blackberries, Online

Blackberries (Rubus subgenus Rubus) are a group of woody plants in the rose family whose members are notoriously difficult to classify and distinguish. However, much of the difficulty has been created by botanists, with their numerous opinions on how the group should be treated. Examination of living plants demonstrates that differentiating members of this subgenus is possible for anyone willing to study the important identifying features of these beautiful shrubs. This Native Plant Trust webinar with Arthur Haines takes place December 9 from 1 – 2. $12 for NPT members, $15 for nonmembers. Register at http://www.nativeplanttrust.org/events/blackberries/
