I see, they seem to came from England in 1800s, people got to have them everywhere in gardens in the mild/cold climates of north america, then some diseasestruckz, spreading to pines as well.
Then forestry industry lobbied government,and they banned it until 1966. For your own safety, I guess 🤡
People should get them back; it's the least maintenance needy bushes. Everyone in CZ has full gardens of these and other berries. Delicious fruit, easy maintenance, small footprint...
