The species is a perennial plant which bears biennial stems ("canes") from the perennial root system. In its first year, a new stem ("primocane") grows vigorously to its full height of 1–3 m, unbranched, and bearing large pinnate leaves with three or five leaflets; normally it does not produce any flowers the first year.
Plants reach maturity and produce fruit after the first year extending through the rest of the plant's life which can be 12 to 20 years. [ 4 ] The plant grows best at temperatures between 12 and 19 °C, with relative humidity of 80 to 90%, high sunshine and well distributed rainfall between 800 and 2,500 mm a year.
The shoots typically do not flower or set fruit until the second year of growth (i.e. they are biennial). [10] The rootstock is perennial.
