Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus)

  • Chapter
Crops II

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 6))

Abstract

The raspberry plant belongs to the Rosaceae family. It was mentioned first by Pliny at the beginning of the Christian era as a wild plant coming from Mount Ida. This site gave its name to the botanical name of the raspberry — Rubus idaeus (Hedrick 1925). Raspberries grow wild in temperate parts of Europe and especially in eastern Europe. The plant has perennial roots and biennial canes which bear fruits on the previous year’s growth. The fruits are small berries (2–5 g), which are collected and sold as fresh fruits, as well as processed. Cultivation of this species started nearly 400 years ago.
