Raspberries are from the genus Rubus and Australia has a number of native species that are widely used as bush tucker plants. Nearly all species will require humus rich soil and good moisture to grow and fruit well. All need a sunny position.

These native varieties have a different growth habit to other raspberries, more of a scrambling shrub than the traditional canes.

  • Rubus probus – This is the Atherton Raspberry, although it is originally from the sub tropics you can grow them in cooler climates as long as they have warmth and humus rich moist soil. Milder tasting than normal raspberries.
