Wild Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) seed was collected from native stands in the forest around Oak Summit Nursery. The plants spread through the understory and grow well even in shade, although more sun produces more berries.
The fruit is similar in size to cultivated raspberries but is more widely spaced along the canes. The leaves can be used for herbal tea.
