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.
