Roseleaf raspberry shrub iN botanical garden of Karelia has borne fruit
First harvest of Tibetan raspberry in Karelia
However, the scientists fear that the Karelian bears, which last September repeatedly raided the apple and chokeberry plantations, will be very tempted to try Tibetan raspberries.
Roseleaf raspberry originates from Tibet, and is sometimes called “Tibetan raspberry”. Certain types of the berry are grown in South America and Madagascar. The berries have the size of a strawberry and a bright pink colour which gets darker once ripe (in Karelia in mid-September). According to experts, the taste reminds the one of bramble and is suitable for preserving.
