Thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus) is thicket-forming deciduous fruiting shrub that produces prominent white blossoms and large star-shaped leaves that form a dense cover. The stems are thornless. Showy clusters of fragrant cheerful white flowers attract bumblebees and other pollinators. Berries that appear in mid to late summer are quite tasty. The Leaves turn brilliant orange to maroon in fall.

Like raspberries, Thimbleberries have a hollow core, them easy to fit on the tip of a finger like a thimble.  

Grows easily in most rich medium-moist soil, also tolerates drier and poorer conditions, even tolerates brief periods of heavy flooding. 

Thimbleberry will grow in full shade, however, the shrub will become more lush and bear more fruit when it receives more light.

Plant in full sun to partial afternoon shade in well drained loamy soils. 

Uses: Thimbleberries can be cooked into jams, jellies, pemmican, or fruit leather. They can also be dried for later use.
