About Rubus phoenicolasius
The Japanese wineberry ‘Rubus phoenicolasius’ is a unique berry shrub known for its striking red-haired branches and tasty wineberries. In the spring, the plant blooms with graceful white-pink flowers that attract many bees and other pollinators. Starting in the summer, the characteristic red berries appear, and thanks to its vigorous growth, the plant produces a bountiful harvest every year. The Japanese wineberry is hardy and easy to care for. The plant grows best in a sunny to partially shaded location in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. It is self-pollinating, but for optimal pollination, it is better to plant two varieties together, such as the blueberry Vaccinium corymbosum.
Berry Quality
The berries of Rubus phoenicolasius are small, glossy red in color, and have a soft, juicy texture. The flavor is sweet with a fresh, slightly tart undertone. The berries ripen in the summer and are easy to pick because they detach from their characteristic red calyx.
