Very close to the raspberry, this species native to China and Japan produces large bright red fruits that are not only very decorative but delicious as well. Fruits harvested between July and August can be eaten raw or used in jams and jellies. Narrow leaves give it an elegant and very ornamental look in the garden. Also great in pots or containers.<br \/>\nEasy to grow, Rubus illecebrosus appreciates fresh soil and prefers sunny or semi-shaded exposure. The substrate must be rich and well drained. This plant can withstand extreme temperatures up to -30 \u00b0 C.
