Species of plant in the family Rosaceae
Rubus probus, commonly known as Atherton raspberry or wild raspberry, is a scrambling shrub in the family Rosaceae native to Malesia and Queensland.[2][3]
Atherton raspberry is a rampant grower and, like most Rubus species, can form dense thorny thickets.[4] The leaves are compound, usually with five ovate leaflets that are 4–10 cm (1.6–3.9 in) long and 2–5 cm (0.8–2.0 in) wide and have deeply toothed margins.[2][4] Flowering occurs in spring and summer, followed by bright red aggregate fruit which are 10–20 mm (0.4–0.8 in) in diameter.[2][4] The fruits are edible.[5]
It has been commercially cultivated to a limited extent in Australia as a cool season punnet fruit.[5]
