As I continued my battle with the triffids in the garden this evening, this question occurred to me… do brambles have rampant long thorny branches to protect their fruit, or do they have fruit to protect their rampant thorny growth? In short, does the bramble come in peace, or is it an expansionist warrior, offering gifts merely to buy it time in its creep over the garden fence? Alas, I fear it may be a Trojan shrub.
