Raspberry Plants

Raspberry plants.

They have jaggedy leaves.  Sometimes people mistake them for poison ivy.  There is a passing resemblance - both plants have leaflets in bunches of three, with basically the same shape.


And at times, both plants can have red stems or stalks.  However, only the raspberry is thorned.


When we see the springtime raspberry canes, we are reminded of the promise of fresh berries in June.  Yum!
