Looking for a unique addition to your garden or foraging collection? Rubus parviflorus, commonly known as Thimbleberry, is a deciduous shrub native to western North America. It grows up to 8.2 ft tall and produces small, soft, and fruity berries that are rarely cultivated commercially, but are a local delicacy in some areas. Thimbleberry also has medicinal properties, as its leaves can be used to treat stomach complaints, anaemia, and women's complaints. It is a hardy plant, easily grown in well-drained soil in semi-shade and can be used as a ground cover. Thimbleberry is not only a tasty addition to your harvest, but also a valuable addition to pollinator habitats and butterfly larval hosts. Try growing this unique plant for yourself today!
