【Morphological Characteristics of Reverse Rooting】
Reverse rooting is also known as raspberry, large raspberry, black sand strawberry, sesame seed bubble, head-turning dragon, two-headed grass, two-headed busy, black bubble upside-down umbrella, reverse rooting, black dragon hair, etc. It is distributed in rural areas of southern provinces and cities in China and mainly grows in mountain slopes, shrubs, wastelands, and other places.
Reverse rooting has a unique feature, which is that it also grows indefinite roots. Its indefinite roots are the ones grown by the vine on the ground.
Around April, the reverse rooting will bloom and bear fruit. Its fruits look like raspberries, but there are some differences. They have a sour and sweet taste and can be eaten raw.
The fruit can be eaten raw, made into syrup or wine, and can also be used as medicine. It is a tonic and can treat soreness and pain in the waist and legs. The root has the effects of stopping bleeding and relieving pain, and the leaves can improve eyesight. The root bark can be used to extract gum.

【Planting Reverse Rooting】
1. Land preparation
Land preparation refers to plowing and harrowing, removing weeds, leveling the land, and applying fertilizer. The main application of fertilizer is basal fertilizer, and the amount of application depends on the fertility of the soil.
The best time for cultivation is in spring and autumn. Early April is the best time for spring planting. It is best to do it before the branches stop growing in autumn, that is, before the frost comes.
2. Cultivation
Cultivation mainly includes loosening the soil and weeding. In spring, inter-row loosening and intra-row weeding management should be carried out. In summer, land preparation should be carried out according to the degree of soil compaction and the growth of weeds.
After the fruit is harvested, loosen the soil once and cultivate twice. During the harvesting process, the inter-row soil is severely compacted and weeds grow densely, so loosening the soil and cultivating are necessary.
3. Harvesting
The harvesting of reverse rooting berries should be done at the right time, neither too early nor too late. Generally, it is harvested one or two days after ripening. The berries should be picked with the fruit peduncle and some part of the stem.
The harvested reverse rooting berries are best stored in a refrigerator at a temperature close to 0°C and a relative humidity of about 90%. Under such temperature and humidity conditions, they can be stored for about one week.
