Rubus chloocladus, commonly known as Dwarf Red Blackberry, is a perennial herb native to open woodlands and scrub areas in Central and Eastern Europe. It typically grows to a height of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters) and a width of 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters). The plant forms dense thickets with arching stems and has trifoliate leaves. During spring and early summer, it produces small, white to pale pink flowers that are moderately showy, followed by edible red to black berries that are attractive to wildlife.

Dwarf Red Blackberry is appreciated for its edible fruit and as a wildlife attractant in gardens. It is used for naturalizing in wild gardens, as a border plant, or for erosion control on slopes due to its spreading habit. This plant prefers partial shade to full sun exposure and requires well-drained soil with consistent moisture. It is relatively easy to maintain but can become invasive if not managed properly. Gardeners should be aware of its potential to spread via root suckers and should plant it where it can be contained.CC BY-SA 4.0
