About

Delicious north american native berry, loved by people and polinators. White flowers in spring, and red summer berries that crumble when ripe.

Growing notes

I sort of have two patches of thimbleberry, these are my back patch and they were grown from seeds collected in camp long

I think these smell a little better than the other patch, but might just be the flowers I sampled, I thought it smelled subtle and floral, my 8 year old daughter says the flowers smell like sour honey
