Default Raspberries

Have I missed out on something?
Taken from a T & M mailing
Raspberry 'Polka' (Autumn fruiting)
Rubus idaeus
Hardy Shrub
Height: 150cm (59”). Spread: 50cm (20”).

Once established, each plant can produce up to 2.5kg of large, deep-
red berries

I have never heard of Raspberries as shrubs, I've always known them to
be canes, and with a spread oF 20" ?????
No wonder they can get almost 6 lbs of fruit from one plant.

I couldn't be T & M stretching the facts could it?
