Rubus uniformis is usually found in surface-dry to wet ecotonal (transitional) communities between shallow wetlands or brushlands and forested uplands dominated by oaks (Quercus), quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), or pines (Pinus banksiana, P. resinosa). These habitats are grassy, sedgy, or brushy, situated in full sunlight to moderate shade.
