Rubus parviflorus (Thimbleberry)

Thimbleberry is a dense, upright, multi-branched, thicket-forming, non-spiny, deciduous shrub which typically grows to 4-8' tall. It is native to forest openings, forest margins an d thickets in western and northern North America. Fragrant five-petaled white flowers bloom in clusters in spring (May - July). Flowers give way to edible raspberry-like fruits which mature in mid-summer. Soft, velvety, 3-5 lobed green leaves with sharp toothed margins turn attractive shades of gold and brown in fall.
