Description
The Japanese Wineberry is a variety of Japanese blackberry. It is cultivated for both its fruits and its ornamental value. Its dark red stems form a decorative bush, similar to a vigorous raspberry bush covered in hairs and reddish thorns. It produces numerous bright red berries that are deliciously sweet and tangy when ripe. The harvest takes place from mid-July to the end of August.
The Wineberry belongs to the genus Rubus, which is native to the mountains of the Caucasus in Asia Minor. The genus has diversified over time and has given rise to several subgenera, including raspberry (Rubus idaeus), blackberry (Rubus fruticosus), and Japanese wineberry (Rubus phoenicolasius). The Japanese Wineberry is a Japanese variety.
Hardy and easy to grow, the Japanese Wineberry thrives in ordinary soil, although it prefers fertile, well-drained, and fresh soil. It will do well against a sunny or semi-shaded wall, enhancing its beautiful dark red and flexible branches in winter.
The Japanese Wineberry is a climbing perennial plant with a semi-shrubby and bushy habit. The branches can reach a length of 2 to 3 meters (6 feet 7 inches to 9 feet 10 inches), and the stump can occupy 0.5 meters (1 feet 7 inches) on the ground. These branches should be trained: fence, wire mesh, trellis, pergola, arches... there are many solutions.
The foliage is deciduous, bright green, composed of dissected and serrated leaves, with visible veins, very similar to raspberry leaves. The stems are adorned with decorative reddish thorns, flexible but not to be grasped with bare hands! They only live to bear fruit (2 years) and are gradually replaced by shoots emerging from the stump.
The flowering, abundant and honey-bearing, although insignificant, displays numerous small white flowers grouped in clusters. It takes place from May to June, starting from the first year of planting.
The fruits that form are orange-red and then cherry red when ripe, from July to August. They should be picked when fully red, as they are then sweet and tangy, juicy and flavorful. The fruits can be consumed fresh after picking, in jellies, jams, on pies, or even in sorbets, syrups, and juices. They can be perfectly preserved in the freezer.

Planting and care
The Japanese Wineberry bush prefers deep, fertile soils, not too dry to moist, but it is a low-maintenance plant that will adapt to any ordinary soil that is not too dry. This bramble fruits in the sun, in partial shade, or even in shade, but the fruits will be of lesser quality. When grown in a pot, it can be planted all year round. However, planting it in the garden in autumn, from September to December is preferable.
Dig a hole twice as large as the root ball. Scratch the root ball with a lightly cutting tool to loosen the root mass and promote growth. Place the bush in the hole without burying it too deep. Water well to compact the soil and remove air around the roots. It will be important to ensure the plant does not lack water in the first year after planting. Similarly, in the first year, only keep the vigorous stems. Applying organic fertiliser is beneficial at the start of the growing season. Train the new stems as they grow to prevent overgrowth: the bramble naturally layers, meaning that if a branch touches the ground for an extended period, it will develop roots and new stems, thus creating a new bush.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
