Raspberry

Raspberry

rasberry
The Raspberry is not a true berry which is a composite fruit. It is also known as Red Raspberry which is a tart and sweet fruit. It is similar to blackberry but has only few differences like it is smaller, softer and has a different color. You can find it growing in places like forests or fields especially where there is free space due to fire or wood-cutting processes that has occurred. It can be grown very easily due to its tendency to spread. Raspberry is sometimes eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Emperor Moth and Peach Blossom.

SEASON- In the late summer or the early autumn.

There are two commercially available types- the wild type that bears fruit during summer and has the tendency to produce much fruit during the first two years for a short period in the mid summer. The other type of raspberry is “ever” bearing plant which also bear fruits on the first-year canes in the autumn, as well as the summer crop on the second-year canes.

A golden Raspberry, which is in pale yellow, has been selected by horticulturalists.

Another raspberry called black raspberry which is known as blackcap, is not actually the same plant, is a North American species. It is a cultivar of Rubus occidentals. Even there exists other non- cultivated species which are also called Raspberries.
