Also known as Thimbleberry, this perennial shrub produces 3 to 5 foot long thorny stems. It is commonly found in large colonies, blooming white flowers in May and June, and producing dark, purple-black fruit in the late summer. This plant can grow in full sun to shade, in dry, moist, and gravelly soils. It provides a source of food for birds and mammals, and nesting materials for native bees.
