Rubus pentalobus. The lack of fruit is common and is thought to be because of inconspicuous flowers that often don't open wide enough to attract or admit pollinators. The fruit DO taste uniquely delicious 😊

Maybe you need a second clone for cross pollination to get fruit. Since you know plants in other gardens you could ask them for a cutting to get a second clone. Even better if you know it is from a clone that fruits :) Since they creep on the ground, it should be quite easy to take a cutting that already has roots 👍🏻

@XoroksComment That's a great idea, and it's likely my issue.

Creeping raspberry is less invasive than English ivy, but it's still non native to the US. it would be better to explore native ground cover plants. There are a variety to choose from. Canadian ginger looks somewhat similar to creeping raspberry and moss phlox is always a beautiful choice. There are many more if you look them up.

@johnatyoutube Thank you for your comments and good advise! Native plants are amazing, and I grow a huge number of those native to my area in my yard. I also grow non natives and native adjacent plants. The issue with exploring natives when creating KZbin videos is that I have a worldwide audience. If I only focus on natives for my area or my side of the world, it lessons the helpfulness of my videos. For example, moss phlox will grow in my area, but it's more native to the East Coast, and looks horrid here in the summer because of our dry heat. I am on the western part of the US where it's a little less adapted. Canadian ginger needs rich forest type soils, but we don't have those conditions where I live. I would love to show those those tyoe of plants on my channel, but no one grows them here because the conditions aren't right. As I said, I feel planting plants that are native to your own area is essential, but I also feel finding plants that can tolerate your conditions is also very useful, even if they aren't native. Carefully chosen diversity is beautiful and wise!
