Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) Potted plants.
A Pacific Northwest favorite native food is grown for its beautiful pink - red flowers and golden yellow berries that looks like a large raspberry. Flowers up to 1.5 inches wide appear in April to May and attract hummingbirds. Berries not picked by humans or wildlife attract birds. Berries are milder in flavor than raspberries, but can be used any way raspberries are used. Ripens earlier than most raspberries.
Salmonberry grows into an attractive upright shrub up to about 6-7 ft. in height in USDA Zones 5-8. In the Spring young shoots can be peeled and eaten fresh or cooked like asparagus. Berries have also been used to flavor wine and beer.
