DISTINCTIVE SWEET-TART BERRIES

Thimbleberries offer 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 add ornamental appeal, and both flowers and berries are fragrant. The broad, maple-like leaves contrast beautifully with finer-textured shrubs, then turn a brilliant golden yellow in fall.

A VERSATILE NATIVE LANDSCAPE PLANT

Great for:

PLANTING AND CARE

Plant in rich, organic, moist but well-drained soil. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade, and provide regular moisture, particularly during establishment and dry periods.

Because thimbleberry spreads through underground roots, allow room for the plants to expand. Monitor their spread if you prefer to keep them within a defined garden area.

Plants may fruit as they mature, but flowering and fruit production depend on climate, establishment, growing conditions, and care. A harvest the following year is not guaranteed.
