'''The American red raspberry''' | '''The American red raspberry''' is a species of flowering plant known by the scientific name ''Rubus idaeus'' which is best known for its fruit. There are many uses for the products of this plant including medicines and home remedies, nesting areas, cover, shelter, food for wildlife, and of course, the great tasting fruit that everybody loves! It must have a good source of water but that doesn't hinder it from growing around the globe.[http://www.gardenguides.com/taxonomy/american-red-raspberry-rubus-idaeus/] [http://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/shrub/rubida/all.html] | ||

The American red raspberry is mostly composed of [[biennial stems]] (canes) on a perennial rootstock. Primocanes, sterile first-year stems, form from buds below the ground and usually have leaves. [http://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/shrub/rubida/all.html] During the second year, floricanes, lateral branches, develop in the axils of the primocanes and bear leaves and fruit. A normal rootstock system for the American red raspberry usually has many primocanes to every one floricane.

The American red raspberry can reproduce from the root of the parent plant, from seed, and by pollination. The red raspberry is usually biennial, and each shoot passes through a easily interpreted stage during its two year lifespan. Vegetative shoots develop from the parent's roots or stems or they would develop as seedlings during the first year. Floricanes are produced the second year and they leaf out early and and grow rapidly. In the late summer, it produces fruit and after this, the cane and the leaves of of the old floricanes die.

In the American red raspberry, flower buds are initiated by [[temperature]], [[genetics]], and geographic location. Flowering is also influenced by the age of the plant and the date that the vegetative growth is terminated. [[Flower]] buds are triggered by lower temperatures, and short days. This usually occurs in the late summer or autumn. The more exact trigger of the flower buds is at an exposure to fifty-five degrees Fahrenheit and nine hours of daylight or fifty degrees Fahrenheit and sixteen hours of daylight. In spite of this, evidence suggests that higher spring temperatures promote sooner and faster flowering.
