It is particularly common from the Cascades to the Pacific Coast [27]. Trailing blackberry extends through southern California into Mexico [9,55]. The subspecies macropetalus occurs from British Columbia and Idaho southward into northern California [36].

It has been identified as a codominant with Columbia brome (Bromus vulgaris) and Shasta red fir (Abies magnifica var. shastensis) in certain plant communities of the Cascades [8]. Trailing blackberry is listed as a codominant in the following publication: Natural vegetation of Oregon and Washinton [21] Associated species: Trailing blackberry grows as an understory species with Shasta red fir, Pacific silver fir (A. amabilis), spruce (Picea spp.), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga mensiesii), white fir (A. concolor), grand fir (A. grandis), western redcedar (Thuja plicata), western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), and red alder (Alnus rubra) [1,19,21,32,56]. Trailing blackberry also occurs in many West Coast riparian communities dominated by willows (Salix spp.) or cottonwoods (Populus spp.) [23.42,62], as a codominant with salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) and thimbleberry (R. parviflorus), and in baccharis (Baccharis spp.) shrub communities of the northern California coast [31]. Common understory associates include Oregon oxalis (Oxalis oregana), sweetscented bedstraw (Galium triflorum), elderberry (Sambucus spp.), and other blackberries, raspberries, or brambles (Rubus spp.) [21].
