It has been in central Canada and in the eastern and central United States, from Québec and Ontario south as far as Missouri, Alabama and South Carolina. Nowhere is it very common, though most of the known populations can be found in the Ozarks and the Appalachians.[http://bonap.net/MapGallery/County/Rubus%20fecundus.png Biota of North America Program 2014 county distribution map]Bailey, Liberty Hyde 1943.
