Rubus lineatus from N Vietnam

One of the finest of foliage plants, with extremely attractive leaves in the style of a Schefflera, but with the 5 leaflets conspicuously and densely parallel veined, green above and shining, silvery, silky beneath. A virtually spineless, multistemmed semi-evergreen shrub to approximately 2m tall, for a sheltered corner, with white flowers in summer followed by tasty orange 'raspberries' in autumn. It has a wide wild range and this is the hardiest form.
