What Is An Raspberry Tree?

The reed usually reaches 1.8 meters (6 feet) in height and has leaves with three or more leaflets, depending on the species or variety. The underside of the leaf is white to gray and usually hairy. The white to pink flowers have five petals and produce juicy red, purple or black (rarely orange, amber or yellowish). Unlike blackberries, the root of this fruit remains on the plant when picked. Although they are often called "berries," these berries are technically a collection of drupes (small drupes) that all contain the same seed.
