I was thinking about grapes, but I guess those aren’t bushes.

Not according to the definition of bush that I learned in botany which is that it produces wood.

Strawberry plants are not wooden. And strawberries aren’t technically berries either.

Right.

Other red berries, in case raspberry is wrong would be cranberries, lingonberries, boysenberries… that’s all I can think of but there’s probably more. Hopefully it’s not too obscure.

I was going by common usage, not botanical definitions. I’m not certain a bramble is a bush, botanically, but people routinely talk about raspberry bushes. Technically, raspberries aren’t berries, either. (Botanically, a melon and an eggplant are berries, and strawberries and raspberries aren’t. They are aggregate fruits. And strawberries aren’t even true fruits since the sweet juicy part grows from the supportive receptacle that holds the ovaries, not from the ovaries themselves.) But both are berries in common usage.

I’m not certain whether I would have said “yes” to whether a strawberry grows on a bush. I’ve heard people refer to strawberry plants as bushes even though they are botanically herbaceous. I had waffled on which plant in my backyard to cue, and I  
was glad I’d picked raspberries, which presented fewer ambiguities than strawberries, tomatoes, and grapes.

I have currants, too, but thought that was too obscure.
