Rubus idaeus aka European Red Raspberry

Taxonomy ID: 8693

Rubus idaeus, commonly known as raspberry, is a red-fruited species of Rubus that is native to Europe and northern Asia. It is a perennial plant with woody stems and an important commercial fruit crop. Raspberries are also an economically significant crop in northern Europe, the United States, and Canada. The fruit contains iron, vitamin C, and antioxidants, and is often eaten fresh with cream or ice cream as a dessert fruit. It is also used in jams, jellies, pastries, and as a flavoring for certain liqueurs. The name "raspberry" may have originated from the Anglo-Latin vinum raspeys, meaning "a sweet rose-colored wine," or from raspoie, meaning "thicket," of Germanic origin. The Nova Raspberry is a super rare houseplant that requires regular watering and well-draining soil. It thrives in long-lasting, direct light and should be placed less than one foot from a window. If the plant is repotted each time it doubles in size, it should not need added fertilizers.
