Native Pacific Trailing California Blackberry Seeds – Native West Coast Bramble with Sweet Fruit
The Pacific Trailing Blackberry (Rubus ursinus) is a wild, native blackberry of the West Coast and the only blackberry species truly native to California. Unlike the upright, invasive Himalayan blackberry, this variety has a low, trailing habit, weaving gracefully through meadows, woodland edges, and streambanks. Its delicate white to pink-tinged blossoms in spring give way to clusters of small but intensely flavorful blackberries by summer.

Native & Non-invasive: A true California native, unlike the aggressive Himalayan blackberry, this species supports local ecosystems and wildlife. It is not only native to California though, it is also native to the following states as well as British Columbia:
 
Oregon
Washington
Idaho
Montana
 
Flavorful Fruit: Produces smaller but sweeter and more aromatic berries than most cultivated blackberries. Beloved by foragers, birds, and pollinators alike. Nobody likes those fat but tasteless blackberries from the store! Nothing is better than fresh picked when truly ripe instead of picking pre-maturely in order to extend the shelf life of the fruit. Wild blackberries taste nothing like the tasteless store-bought type.
 
Ecological Value: Provides nectar for pollinators, fruit for wildlife, and cover for small animals. Excellent for naturalized plantings, habitat gardens, or restoration projects.

Growing Tips
Start seeds by stratifying for 60–90 days in moist medium at 35–40°F to break dormancy. Sow in spring into pots or a prepared bed with well-draining soil. Germination can be slow and irregular. Once established, plants spread by trailing stems and root where nodes touch the ground. Provide space to sprawl or train along a fence for easier harvest.
