Summary
Rubus lineatus, commonly known as Silky Leaved Bramble, is a semi-deciduous to deciduous shrub native to the understory of montane forests and forest margins in Southeast Asia and Australasia. It can reach up to 4 meters (13 feet) in height and spread, featuring large, attractive palmate leaves with a striking white underside, which add a lush texture to garden spaces. The shrub produces small, inconspicuous white flowers in spring and summer, which give way to red or yellow ornamental fruits in autumn, provided they receive enough sunlight to ripen.
Silky Leaved Bramble is valued for its textured foliage and its ability to provide seasonal interest with its fruits. It is often used in gardens for border planting or as an informal hedge, and its suckering habit makes it suitable for erosion control on slopes. While it thrives in full sun to part shade, it requires consistent moisture and prefers well-draining soil. Gardeners should be aware that it can spread vigorously, potentially becoming invasive in some conditions. Regular pruning is recommended to maintain its shape and to control its spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
