Ecological Threat: Wineberry (wine raspberry) is a vigorous grower and can form dense thickets covering large areas, displacing many native plants in the process. Wineberry poses a threat to the native plants that grow in forest, field, stream and wetland edge habitats, open woods, and savannas and prairies. (http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/fact/ruph1.htm)
