Tibetan raspberry benefits and harm of Japanese berries

Tibetan raspberry is a very exotic plant for our gardeners and has become popular recently, so few people know how useful it is, what can be harmful, and what advantages it has for growing it on your own plot.

Description

Raspberry strawberry or Tibetan, grows in the form of a half-shrub, reaching a height of 30 cm to half a meter. Growth is definitely influenced by the characteristics of tillage and berry care. Corrugated foliage has a light green tint. Just it attracts attention to itself, even despite the rather unusual fruit. Raspberry blooms for a long time with white flowers that reach 3-4 cm in diameter.

Raspberry begins to bloom in the first summer month, and ends in the last fall. Interesting that flowers periodically appear next to the already ripe berries. The fruits have an expressive burgundy color and reach a large size - up to 3 cm.They are not hidden under the foliage of the dwarf shrub, but openly directed upwards. Due to the massive bright berries in contrast with green leaves, these plants are easily visible from a distance.

Strawberry raspberry will be an excellent scenic addition to the garden, so it is not necessary to consider its planting solely for edible purposes. Basically, gardeners plant at once many of these plants in one row along the barriers, making an unusual composition of shrubs and artificial structures. This structure has a very effective natural look.

But the Tibetan berry has a number of significant shortcomings that have to be taken into account. The main one is that the fruits have far from the most refined taste. Although the huge size of the fruit can be misleading, giving hope for a fantastic taste, but Tibetan raspberries are spoken of as a berry with a neutral taste, which is not associated with the qualities of ordinary raspberries.Accordingly, there are not so many lovers of this variety, however, someone finds the massiveness of this berry attractive.

Negative quality of this plant is the fact that almost the entire shrub is covered with sharp spines. Thorns are even located directly near the fruit. Therefore, harvesting is a very difficult task. Although, if the plant was planted for decorative purposes, the thorns will turn it into an excellent natural fence, which can be perceived as a virtue, and to collect the fruits will be enough to wear special clothes and gloves.
