Rubus (chingii var. suavissimus) Sugarleaf® ‘Innocent’

Rubus (chingii var. suavissimus) Sugarleaf® 'Innocent' is a raspberry whose leaves can be used to sweeten food. The leaves are edible and have a higher sweet content than sugar. 1 gram of dried leaves is equivalent to 15 grams of white sugar. The leaf looks like Cannabis, but it is not. Sugarleaf® 'Innocent' is not a raspberry like the fruit-bearing raspberries, but an independent Rubus species from Asia, Rubus chingii var. Suavissimus. The plant is very hardy and has tremendous vigour, growing to about 250 cm tall. But by topping the shoots at a height of 50 cm, the plant branches well and grows less tall. The plant comes with a large photo label and is available in sufficient numbers and immediately deliverable. Rubus Sugarleaf® 'Innocent' has been submitted by Joh. Stolwijk en Zonen Boomkwekerijen B.V. of Boskoop, the Netherlands.
