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.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • What kind of pests should I look out for with thimbleberries? Are they more resistant to fungi than traditional raspberries? (I'm from Oregon)

    Crown borers, aphids, and spotted wing drosophilia are all possible pests that can affect thimbleberries

  • How are thimbleberries with deer, and planted near the WA coast? (Coastal fog and potential salt spray)

    Thimbleberries are not saline tolerant if that is a factor in your planting. When planted in partial to full shade they can spread quickly, but depending on wildlife pressure you may need to protect them to get them established.

  • Does this come as a single cane?

    Yes it is a single cane.
