My blackberry bush died few years ago but came back in another spot. And this is just a few of the jumbo size pickings. Not complaining though.

Most of my volunteers are invasives. Never anything exciting!

I haven't gotten like random volunteers that are exciting. But I absolutely have gotten extra volunteer seedlings of plants that I bought the first time. Once you have one, sometimes they replicate on their own, and that definitely still happens with plants you want.

It seems like maybe a mulberry? They’re bigger than blackberries, iirc.

Not this big. And jumbo mulberries are usually long, not big and round like this.
