Raspberry Japanese Balloon Berry

We are exclusively releasing seeds of this incredible exotic Japanese rarity, also known as the strawberry-raspberry, and related to both. It produces successive crops of absolutely enormous strawberry-sized berries, which resemble raspberries! The intensely bright red fruits, when ripe, combine the shape and taste of a strawberry with the taste of a raspberry. Although they are sweet and tasty eaten raw when completely ripe, they are additionally used for cooking in Japan, and the fruit develops an even richer taste when cooked. The prolific berries continue to ripen over a lengthy season from the middle of summer right into late autumn, when most other berries have finished! Additionally, the beautiful, and unusually large, eye-catching white flowers open in early summer on an easy-to-grow compact bush.
