Rubus parviflorus (Thimbleberry)
Thimbleberry's showy, large white flowers produce a profusion of sweet native raspberries in mid to late summer, which detach in the shape of a thimble, thus its common name.
Easily recognized by its large, fuzzy maple-shaped leaves. It's the only shrub in this genus without prickles, and its cane-like stems spread over time through underground rhizomes to make thickets, typically 3-5 ft. tall.
Thimbleberry is terrific for supporting pollinators, birds, and other wildlife; and revegetation projects, especially where erosion-control rhizome-bearing plants are needed.
Highly adaptable, it tolerates full sun to shade and many soil types.
