Rubus corchorifolius seed

LATIN NAME: RUBUS CORCHORIFOLIUS

COMMON NAME: Jute-leaf Raspberry

The jute-leaf raspberry lifts the upright, deciduous shrub with the reddish, lightly prickled stems and the large, simple, ovate leaves with the toothed margins, the small, white flowers in the leaf axils, the bright-red, conical berries following, the plant forming the dense, leafy clump. It grows quickly into the upright, branching form, and it stands the warm, moist climate well. It likes the sun or the light shade, and the deep, moist, well-drained soil.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The jute-leaf raspberry comes into the studies of the wild bramble fruits, and the corchorifolius species appears in the work on the simple-leafed Rubus forms and the early berry crops. The research looks at the way the large single leaves feed the early canes, the berry chemistry, and the seed biology. The pomologists keep the early fruit in view, and the growers of the wild-fruit and garden-berry plants list the bramble in their catalogues.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

Along the forest edges, the jute-leaf raspberry opens the white flowers among the large, broad leaves. The red berries ripen early in the season, the young shoots serve the traditional uses, and the shrub makes the fine fruit thicket, the hedge plant and the garden berry. It settles into the deep, moist, open ground. Broad-leafed, early-berried and edge-born.

To grow the Jute-leaf Raspberry from seed, sow the seeds thinly in a seedbed of leafy soil.

Sow the seeds thinly in a seedbed of leafy soil, and keep the young canes in the open, moist spot. The red berries come early through the years. , pressing them in lightly, keep the seedbed lightly watered, and the young canes establish themselves in their season. The red berries come early through the years.
