Cultivation Details
Species in this genus are generally easily grown in a good well-drained loamy soil in sun or semi-shade[1, 2, 3]. Rubus lasiococcus is recognized by its creeping, unarmed stems, simple 3-lobed to 3-foliate leaves, small flowers, white petals, and densely hairy ovaries[4].
Propagation
Seed - requires stratification and is best sown in early autumn in a cold frame. Stored seed requires one month stratification at about 3°c and is best sown as early as possible in the year. Prick out the seedlings when they are large enough to handle and grow on in a cold frame. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring of the following year. Division in early spring or just before leaf-fall in the autumn[3].
