Wineberries is a native to eastern Asia but was introduced to the U.S. as a breeding stock for the rubus cultivars. The rubus contains both blackberries and raspberries. It can be considered harmful due to and raspberry yellow spot and wineberry which other plants believe that it is harmful so they began to relocate away from the wineberries. This plant can be found in moist conditions and areas with a lot of sunlight. Smaller animals and mammals use the brambles for shelter and to rest. The wineberries could typical be found in the U.S. around May-June when it starts getting warm. Workcited: nps.gov invasive.org
