Rubus recurvans is a North American species of highbush blackberry in section Arguti of the genus Rubus, a member of the rose family.[2] It is found in eastern and central Canada (Québec, Ontario, Nova Scotia) and in the eastern and north-central United States (from Maine west to Minnesota, south as far as Missouri, the Ohio River, and Virginia).[3][4] The specific epithet recurvans refers to the tendency of the primocanes to recurve, a trait that is not shared with similar tall blackberries.[4]
