The raspberry tree (Rubus idaeus) is a hardy perennial plant, ideal for amateur and professional gardens. Native to Europe, it is loved for its delicious and nutritious fruits. The raspberry plant consists of erect, thorny stems, which can reach 1.5 to 2 meters in height. Its deciduous, green and serrated leaves are composed of several oval leaflets. In summer, the plant produces small white flowers grouped in clusters, which will give rise to the famous red, juicy and fragrant fruits. The latter, composed of numerous small drupes, are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. The raspberry bush requires sunny exposure and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Easy to maintain, it tolerates pruning well and can flourish in the ground or in a pot. The raspberry harvest generally lasts from June to September, offering abundant and regular production.
