Every year I look forward to early summer. Why? It is all about the blackberries!
Keep looking!
The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.

But your title says Rhus not Rubus. So did you have Fragrant Sumac on your mind? the other sumacs won’t ripen until fall.
*I must say, your blackberries make me drool!!!
When Rider was young he figured out how to get a berry off also. Our dogs are/were so smart.
Are your arm protectors made of thick long socks with holes at the end for fingers?
Rose gloves (arm length) work too but I find it hard to cut out the fingers after paying that kind of money they cost.
Next time we are up in a dormant season I will have to see about getting a cane sample from you again. Now that we live here we can take care of it and keep it going. Those berries are great flavor. I agree, blackberry not dewberry, due to cane versus trailing habit.
I was closely watching email having conversation with our architect when your email came up. And I thought Rhus are yummy?
In our orchard we are getting our domestic blackberries, blueberries and apricots plus zucchini, cabbage, snap peas, beets and watching cantaloupes, cucumbers, eggplant, okra and green beans grow. Peaches are still a ways off from ripening.
Well the sumac has yummy berries for lemonade and sumac spice but that will be a fall post. π
Sounds like your garden is getting some good produce. I am waiting for tomatoes. Very small garden.
I was just grazing on blackberries this past weekend – yummmmm. I had not heard that blackberries grow on upright canes vs. dewberries trailing along the ground. Good to know.

The arm protectors are from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WMM3FKM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I bet coyotes eat blackberries. Especially since they eat the fruit from prickly pears. Yummii is right!
I bet you are right! Bet others too like raccoons.
