Rubus microphyllus / Nigaichigo ニガイチゴ

 
Rubus microphyllus is a deciduous shrub, 50-100cm tall, found in forest edges or wastelands in fields and mountains, with many small prickles on stems and branches. Leaves are alternate, in the shape of a broad ovate, and generally cut into three. Blades on stems with flowers are small, 2-5cm long, but on non-flower branches, they are large, 6-10cm long. Leaf margins are serrated, and either side of the surface is hairless. There are small prickles on the veins and petioles. Flowers, white, 2-2.5cm across, bloom facing upward. Fruit, approximately 1cm across, is spherical and matures to a deep red. Bloom time: April-May.
