{"product_id":"thimbleberry-rubus-parviflorus","title":"Thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThimbleberry is an easy to grow relative of raspberries and blackberries, and is just as tasty! It is an erect, thornless shrub, with large, soft maple-shaped leaves. In spring, it is covered with showy white flowers, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. The raspberry-like fruits ripen in early to mid summer; they are absolutely delicious, and high in vitamin C! Thimbleberry can spread vigorously through rhizomes to form dense thickets, so it is best planted in wilder areas of the garden where it has room to spread. It is useful for erosion control on shady hillsides and in riparian areas, and is a great addition to food forests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/b\u003e Shade, partial shade, sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Moisture:\u003c\/b\u003e Moist to seasonally dry, humus-rich, well-drained soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/b\u003e Up to 7' tall, spreads by rhizomes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Time:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdible:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/b\u003e Attracts beneficial insects and pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
