Wild Raspberries (Rubus sp.) are delicious and can be quite productive if maintained (pruned/ fertilized, etc.) Dainty white blossoms appear in late spring, and small red fruits form in the summer. A favourite for jams, pies, or just for snacking. Raspberry leaf also makes a lovely tea, and is considered a medicine. Suckering habit. Will spread. Keep pruned.
