Rubus pentalobus

This durable evergreen groundcover, from the mountains of Taiwan, has beautiful clover-shaped, leathery green foliage with firm hairs that give the leaves a prickly texture. It spreads vigorously to cover the ground, turning an attractive coppery color in the autumn. It grows only a few inches tall. The subtle white flowers give way to mildly-flavored and infrequent orange berries that ripen in early summer. 

Grows in sun or shade. Tolerates heat well, and drought tolerant once established. Self fertile, and cold hardy to USDA zone 6.


Size: 4" Pot

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Any idea if this would work near a black walnut tree?

    It should be fine yes. Juglone, the chemical that black walnut produces, primarily prevents seed germination and doesn't tend to stop already sprouted plants from growing. 

  • How does the fruit taste?

    Mellow and mildly sweet, similar to golden or yellow raspberries.

  • Does it fruit on new growth, or previous year's growth?

    Previous year's growth

  • Is this ground cover invasive

    Not at all! It grows at an average rate and is very easy to control.

  • Does it spread on canes? Does it have thorns?

    Yes, along the ground and yes it has fine thorns.
