Red Raspberry

Rubus idaeus is a Minnesota native berry that is slowly, but enthusiastically, taking over the back of the homestead. Everyone knows how good the berries are, but the leaf is often overlooked. It makes a refreshing summer time tea, especially sipped cold and combined with a handful of berries!

Raspberries are an important food source for birds and mammals, including black bears, skunks, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits and deer. Even foxes and opossums will nibble on these berries, so it’s no wonder they quickly disappear soon after they ripen - just about all of our wild neighbors want a share!
Raspberries feed an entire community of animals, but also grow in a thick tangle, canes covered in thorns.
Red Raspberry creates an atmosphere of motherly love and protection.
Raspberries are found in Waxwing incense, with limited quantities coming soon!
