My berries are loaded with nutrients and anti-aging compounds. My leaves can be dried and made into a medicinal tea.
My berries are at their peak in late fall and winter when most berries have passed their peak. See how my blue-black berries grow in dense clusters on stems with waxy evergreen leaves.

I form dense thickets in wet forested areas including stream sides. My pink flowers light up the forest in early springtime. My berries are the first of all native berries to ripen and can be yellow, orange, or red-colored, even on the same bush!
My flowers provide sweet nectar for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. My berries are a favorite food for people, birds, deer, bears, and many other creatures. I shade streams and help keep water cool for salmon. Some Native Elders teach that when my berries are abundant, it will be a good spring salmon run.

I am a low-growing plant with long-running, thorny stems that sprawl along the ground in woods and clearings. My vines form a dense ground cover and can catch people like a trip wire. My leaves are grouped in threes and have serrated edges.
Only my female plants produce juicy, delicious berries, which are a favorite mid-summer treat for people and many other animals. My leaves make a tasty mineral-rich tea that is good for colds and sore throats. My berries might be smaller than non-native blackberries, but they are sweeter and more packed with flavor.

I am a bush often growing to 5 feet tall. My leaves are soft, fuzzy, and shaped like a maple leaf. They have 5 points like your hand. My flowers are white with 5 petals and my red berries are shaped like shallow caps.
Have you tried my sweet and juicy berries? They have tiny crunchy seeds and can be enjoyed fresh or made into sauce, dessert, or a refreshing drink. My leaves are large and soft, and are often called “toilet paper plant” or "Nature’s Charmin.”
