About Rubus phoenicolasius (Japanese wineberry)

The Japanese wineberry grows into a medium-sized shrub with long, supple branches. The berries develop during the summer and ripen gradually. When ripe, they are easy to pick from the plant.

As well as its edible fruit, the shrub also has ornamental value. Its reddish branches and fine hairs give the plant a distinctive appearance, particularly when sunlight falls on the stems.

Rubus phoenicolasius grows best in a sunny to semi-shaded spot in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. The plant is very hardy and well-suited to the Dutch climate. Due to its growth habit, it can be trained along a trellis, wire or pergola, but can also be left to grow freely as a shrub.
