The raspberry cultivated in the northern hemisphere comes from the native wild raspberry, whose origin and distribution area is attributed to the northern zones of Europe and western Siberia. Wild and cultivated varieties tolerate cooler climates and can grow at altitudes of up to 1400m. Raspberries are deciduous semi-shrubs that grow to a height of 0.3-3 meters, depending on the variety. The raspberry bush constantly renews itself from the rootstock. From this, new runners constantly form, which poke out of the ground as slightly prickly, light green shoots and form new daughter bushes.
The leaves of the raspberry have been used for various purposes in many cultures for hundreds of years.
