Description
This image shows a young Roughfruit Raspberry plant growing in its natural environment, not yet cultivated as a bonsai. It displays characteristic trifoliate, serrated leaves and a single delicate white flower, indicating it is in bloom. If trained as a bonsai, it would require significant work to develop a woody trunk and ramification.
