Thimbleberry
Rubus parviflorus
Thimbleberry is a Pacific Northwest native, related to the raspberry. Thimbleberry produces small, bright red fruits shaped like the top of a thimble. In the spring they display with white, 1' mildly fragrant flowers appearing on the erect, thornless 4-6' canes that grow in thickets. Come summer, the harvest of rich, tangy fruit arrives - the flavor is strong and the berries are tender and melt in your mouth!
Plants thrive in full or partial shade, and prefer moist, acidic-to-neutral soils.
USDA Zone: 4-9
Grow Height: 5'
Sun: Full to Partial Shade
Ripening Time: August
Pollination: Self Fertile
