It is a scrambling shrub native to eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam) and Australia.[3][4][5] It has also become naturalized in a few scattered locations in the United States.[6]
Rubus parvifolius is a shrub up to 2 meters tall with arching branches armed with curved prickles. Young stems are finely pubescent, becoming hairless with age. The leaves are pinnate with 3 to 5 toothed leaflets. Flowers are numerous, in clumps at the end of stems, and have red or pink petals. The red fruit is 1 cm wide.[5][7]
