DISTINCTIVE SWEET-TART BERRIES

Thimbleberries are known for a burst of sweet-tart flavor often described as richer and more tart than raspberries. Ripe berries can be enjoyed fresh or used to make homemade jellies.

Large clusters of three or four white blossoms provide ornamental interest, and both flowers and berries are fragrant. The broad, soft, maple-like leaves contrast beautifully with finer-textured shrubs before turning bright golden yellow in fall.

A VERSATILE NATIVE LANDSCAPE PLANT

Native to western and northern North America, thimbleberry is valued for its ornamental qualities, fruit, and usefulness in naturalized landscapes.

Great for:

• Woodland gardens and naturalized borders

• Wildlife-friendly gardens

• Native plant landscapes

• Habitat restoration projects

• Suitable erosion-control plantings

• Larger informal shrub borders

Thimbleberry spreads through underground roots and can form dense colonies over time. Allow sufficient space for the plants to spread, and monitor growth if you want to maintain a defined planting area.

PLANTING AND CARE

Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and rich, organic, moist but well-drained soil. Provide regular moisture, especially while the plants establish and during dry periods.

Because thimbleberry spreads through underground roots, plan the layout with its mature size and spreading habit in mind. This is especially important when planting larger quantities.

Flowering and fruit production depend on maturity, climate, establishment, growing conditions, and care. Although plants may fruit as they mature, a harvest the following year is not guaranteed.
