Rubus strigosus
Also called North American Red Raspberry, Wild Red Raspberry, Grey Leaved Raspberry, Common Red Raspberry, Grayleaf Raspberry, Grayleaf Red Raspberry, Red Raspberry
A North American wild raspberry, Rubus strigosus, that is the parent of many commercial red raspberry cultivars. It is a perennial that sends up biennial canes, fruiting in summer or early autumn on second-year canes.
Rubus strigosus, the American red raspberry or American raspberry, is a species of Rubus native to much of North America. It was often treated as a variety or subspecies of the closely related Eurasian Rubus idaeus (red raspberry or European red raspberry), but is now more commonly treated as a distinct species. Many of the commercial raspberry cultivars grown for their fruit derive from hybrids between R. strigosus and R. idaeus; see Raspberry for more details.
Rubus strigosus, as treated here, is widely distributed in North America, particularly the more boreal regions. Some authors also treat various raspberries in eastern Asia, east from the Altai Mountain Range in Mongolia to Manchuria and Japan in this taxon (where it is suggested to have originated along with a great deal of the North American flora), but others include all Asian raspberries in R. idaeus. with the Eurasian plants being Rubus idaeus ssp. (or var.) idaeus.
