  4. Interesting Facts • Red raspberries are termed “brambles” along with blackberries. • Diverse group of species and hybrids in genus Rubus. Members of the Rosaceae family, closely related to the strawberry in the subfamily Rosuideae. • Termed an aggregate fruit because it’s formed by smaller fruits (drupelets) gathered together into a mass

  5. Gardening • Most types require cooler summers. They’re poorly adapted to southern U.S. or hot, arid climates. • It takes 2 years to establish raspberry planting • They grow and produce on many soil types; the best is sandy loam soils with organic matter and plant nutrients. • Also need good drainage and an open site that gets 6 to 8 hours of sunlight. • Care: weed free, water when necessary, fertilize, prune, keep insect and disease pest free! • Raspberry pests: aphids, leaf rollers, cane borers, cane maggots, fruit worms, crown borers, sawflies, sap beetles, and Japanese beetles.

  6. Statistics • Worldwide 2002 911 million pounds of raspberries produced • 37 countries worldwide on 184,000 acres • Production increased 38% since 1992 • Average yield 5000 pounds per acre • Top Countries with raspberry production: Russia (24% of world production) and Serbia and Montanegro • U.S. 173 million pounds • Almost all grown in Washington, California, and Oregon • Total value of industry: $85 million a year with 90% or more of the crop processed • In the off season, small quantities grown in Chile and other Latin American countries, exported in the off-season

  8. Caroline raspberries • They’re the new standard for fall-bearing varieties • Larger berry than Heritage and more productive • High adaptable, growing from the East Coast to the West Coast Picture provided by: Caroline Raspberries - Nourse Farms - Fruit Nursery Online Catalog Accessed on March 29, 2006

  9. Caroline study • A study was conducted by University of Maryland on raspberry production in Somerset County, on the Eastern Shore. Also in Garret County in the Appalachian Plateau in Maryland. • Eastern shore had problems with establishment and disease, however the Appalachian met expectations with a good fruit season, size, firmness, and productivity. • Annual returns from the top producer Caroline raspberries would be $66,000 per acre • For more information, see the website: • http://agroecology.widgetworks.com/pdfs/harryswartzfullreport122004Accessed on March 28, 2006

  12. More Nutrients:

  13. In depth on…Phytochemicals • Contains cancer fighting beta-carotene, ellagic acid, catechins, and monoterpenes. Chart provided by: Photochemicals - Washington Red Raspberry Commission Accessed on March 28, 2006

  14. In depth on…Ellagic Acid • Ellagic acid is an anti-carcinogen that prevents HIV binding to cells, blood clotting, growth of tumors, and cancer. • Currently double blind studies* conducted at the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina that show ellagic acid keeping cancer cells from dividing in a test tube. • Forms a chemical compound (an adduct) to the DNA to mask binding cites with a carcinogen. • Can be seen as an alternative to chemotherapy, radiation or other conventional treatments by aiding in cancer death without destroying the immune system. * See Breakthrough Cancer Prevention for more information! Accessed on March 29, 2006

  15. In depth on…Anthocyanins • Act as pigments to give color • Naturally found in fruits and vegetables • Close to 300 different kinds • Current research for each anthocyanin and how they impact human health. Under investigation is their anti-cancer potential, if they lower LDL cholesterol, prevent blood clotting, and defend cells against carcinogens. • Most recent studyshows that the anthocyanins in red raspberries can help reduce the risk of heart disease. See anthocyanins Accessed on March 29, 2006

  16. In depth on…Antioxidants • Protect plant cells from damage that make them susceptible to disease. • May help prevent a number of different types of cancer. • Antioxidant vitamins: Beta-carotene (from Vitamin A), Vitamin E, and Vitamin C, all found in raspberries.

  17. Uses and Preparation • Freshly prepared, sugared, raspberry sundae, jams, jellies • Shopping- delicate structure, handle with care! • Berries should be plump, dry, firm, well shaped, and uniformly colored
