Creeping Taiwan Bramble, Crinkle-Leaf Creeper, Yü-Shan Raspberry, Rubus pentalobus, Rubus rolfei
Rubus calycinoides (Creeping Raspberry) is an evergreen groundcover forming a dense carpet adorned with long spreading branches clothed in lustrous, emerald green, thickly textured leaves. Rounded, they have 3-5 broad, ruffled-edged lobes and display felted, whitish undersides. They may turn raspberry-red with the onset of cool fall nights. Small white flowers, reminiscent of strawberry blossoms, are produced sporadically in late spring to early summer and followed by bright golden to salmon fruits which are edible but not highly flavored. Spreading at a moderate rate, Creeping Raspberry makes a durable groundcover with beautiful foliage for sun or partial shade areas. It is an excellent pest-free lawn replacement and takes light foot traffic.
