(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
'The Raspberry is a plant which produces a red berry in late summer or early autumn, which is essentially identical to the Blackberry except for its colour. It grows typically in forest clearings or fields, particularly where fire or wood-cutting has produced open space for colonization by this opportunistic colonizer of disturbed soil. As a domesticated plant, it is easy to grow and has a tendancy to spread unless cut back.
Two types are commercially available: the everbearing plant, which bears fruit on first-year canes throughout most of the summer and fall, and a Junebearing type that produces an abundance of fruit within a relatively short period in midsummer. Raspberries can be cultivated through USDA hardiness zone 4.
A Golden Raspberry, which is pale yellow, has been selected by horticulturalists.
