I remember discovering salmonberries on fishing trips with my late father near the Cedar River. Added to the native garden in April 2020, I just have one of these shrubs, but I anticipate it will grow and spread prodigiously–so there really is only room for one. The plant is only about two feet tall right now, so it has some growing up to do and spreading out, as well.

Future plans for this shrub are to keep it lightly fed and appropriately watered to speed it along to blooming and berry production.
