    Hello there, This Raspberry grows wild here in Salem Sound, Massachusetts. Is it possible to identify the species? Thank you very much! SueL-B

    Answer

    Dear SueLB, it looks as though you have photographed Rubus idaeus subsp. strigosus (our native red raspberry). The presence of stipitate glands in the inflorescence point to this subspecies. Best wishes.
