Native berries are the easiest way to start eating from your landscape. This collection brings together the fruiting shrubs, brambles, and groundcovers of the West: huckleberries and blueberries, blackberries and their hybrids (marionberry, loganberry, boysenberry, olallieberry), raspberries, thimbleberry, and salmonberry, currants and gooseberries, elderberries, serviceberry, salal, and three kinds of wild strawberry.
Most are tough, low-maintenance plants that also feed birds and pollinators. Check each plant’s page for its light and water needs: huckleberries and salal love acidic soil and shade, while serviceberry, golden currant, and buffaloberry take hot, dry sun. See our Native Blackberries and Native Huckleberries pages for side-by-side comparisons.
