Abstract

fruit-bearing bush of the genus Rubus (family Rosaceae), mentioned by Pliny the Elder as a wild fruit. John Parkinson (Paradisus [1629]) speaks of red, white, and thornless varieties of raspberries; their culture began about this time. Raspberry bushes bear juicy red, purple, or black (rarely orange, amber, or pale-yellow) berries that separate from the core that remains on the plant; in the related blackberry, the core is a part of the fruit. The raspberry section of Rubus probably evolved in eastern Asia, where more than 200 species are known.
