Thimbleberry

Thimbleberries are a California native that produce fruit similar to raspberries, but with a flattened thimble shape and a much more delicate flavour. Preserves made from the fruit are a delicacy indeed, as the plant is much less productive than its cousins. This plant is quite ornamental, with large palmate leaves, large white spring flowers, and colorful fall foliage. A great addition to any edible landscape or forest garden.
