This raspberry has berries that turn from red to black when it can be confused with blackberries. The white arching canes are impressive with their powdery white coating, but are not for the faint hearted. Not only is this plant armed with good sized thorns, it re-roots where the canes touch the ground. Great replacement if you desire an edible landscape where you are eliminating invasive blackberries.
