Common greenbriar has oval leaves that are green (not white-green/glaucous) on the underside, plus stout green prickles with dark tips. This vine climbs with tendrils, producing nearly impenetrable thickets in a range of wet and dry habitats. Birds eat the berries, particularly in winter. Common greenbriar has been recommended as a planting to depress other plant growth under power line rights-of-way. It also recovers quickly following fire. Full profile for this plant
