A thicket-forming shrub, usually 3-9 ft. tall. The big, reddish-purple, solitary flowers appear before foliage. Bright pink flowers, and yellow or salmon-red fruits that resemble a cultivated blackberry in all but color. The berry is raspberry-like and yellow to reddish.
Growing on moist, sunny slopes in the Cascades, Salmonberry can form impenetrable thickets. The juicy fruit is a welcome trailside snack that birds and animals also love. Description from wildflower.org
