Will cultivated Raspberries affect the genetics, taste, resilience, etc of surrounding native Raspberries and other Rubus?


A neighbor gave me some crowns of her fall bearing Raspberries. Honestly I dislike the taste of them (they taste like Raspberries from the store, not the wild ones I was raised on) but they’re great for jam and baking 🙂 so I accepted.

Today I was looking for a spot for them and started worrying abt planting them too close to other Raspberries. Especially my beloved black raspberries 💜

Anyway… Is this something to really worry abt? I mean there are billions of wild Rubus of various varieties around…. But still.

When it comes to native perrenials, I tend to mostly take seeds and cuttings from what’s around me, so I’ve never really thought abt this before
