Description and habitat

 

  • A woody , bramble -like perennial shrub with erect, cylindrical stems, found throughout the northern hemisphere

  • The raspberry is often associated in its natural environment with beech , mountain ash or elderberry
  • According to Pol Henry [1] , it is an indicator plant of a certain degradation of the soil, by acid blocking of the fertilizing properties of the humus. It lives in the sessiliflorous silicolous oak forest and the acidophilic beech forest. It is the forest which is degrading, acidifying, adapted to leached soils, to clayey sands where the cuts lead to the growth of brambles

 

History and tradition

 

  • Its name ( Rubus idaeusIda bramble ”) comes from the fact that the raspberry was born on the slopes of Mount Ida, home of the gods of Olympus, the name of the genus Rubus coming from the Latin ruber which means “red” , with reference to the fruits of the many species of this family or to the coloring that the leaves of some of them bear in autumn, and because of its presence in the undergrowth, European botanists classified it as 19th century among the tribe of the “Dryads”, named after the nymphs whose life was linked to that of the trees and the forest [2]
  • Its culture in Europe dates back to the end of the Middle Ages
  • Red raspberry leaf has traditionally been used to promote labor in parturients and to reduce pain during childbirth
