Wild red raspberry (Rubus strigosus) is a native plant that is closely related to cultivated raspberries (Rubus idaeus).
Red raspberries can be found at the edges of woods, fields, and roadsides.
The leaves are divided into 3-7 leaflets which have a green upper surface and silvery-white undersurface. Berries ripen mid-to-late summer.
Red raspberries are delicious eaten fresh. They can also be turned into jam, wine, or froze to preserve the fruit.
Leaves can be used fresh or dried for tea.
