Cultivation details
Easily grown in a good well-drained loamy soil in sun or semi-shade[1, 11, 200]. Cultivated for its edible fruit in Asia, there are some named varieties[183]. This species is a raspberry with biennial stems, it produces a number of new stems each year from the perennial rootstock, these stems fruit in their second year and then die[200]. This species appears to hybridise in the wild with R. hillii[265]. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200].

Prick out the seedlings when they are large enough to handle and grow on in a cold frame. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring of the following year. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, July/August in a frame[200]. Tip layering in July. Plant out in autumn. Division in early spring or just before leaf-fall in the autumn[200].
