They grow long, arching shoots that readily root upon contact with soil, [9] and form a soil rootstock from which new shoots grow in the spring. [10] The leaves are either evergreen or deciduous, and simple, lobed, or compound. [8] The shoots typically do not flower or set fruit until the second year of growth (i.e. they are biennial). [10]
