Rubus malvaceus - GWJ9359

Pot Size: 5 litre
Price: £35.00
Description:
From seed collected from a steep limestone area, close to Sapa in northern most Vietnam, an old French hill station that has evolved into a tourist hot-spot in recent years. Where it formed domed medium sized shrubs of long arching slender sharply prickly woolly stems, bearing relatively large palmately-ovate softly short haired grey-green leaves fringed by broad rounded lobes. With good sized white flowers freely born in narrow axillary panicles, followed by strawberry-like red fruit. Easily grown in most types of fertile drained soils, best grown in sun for flower and fruit, although perfectly shade tolerant. Protect from severe cold.
