Rubus trifidus

Rubus trifidus, commonly known as the three-lobed bramble, is a member of the Rosaceae family and can be found in Guatemala, Mexico (Central, Gulf, Southeast, Southwest), and parts of Japan and Korea. This plant thrives in moist environments with light to partial sun exposure, growing up to 2 meters tall. Its adaptability to various soil types—light sandy, medium, and heavy clay—and its hardiness range from zones 5-9 make it a versatile addition to gardens. Known for its edible fruit, Rubus trifidus is both ornamental and useful in culinary applications. One distinctive feature of this plant is its deeply divided leaves, which give the species its common name.
