Thimbleberries produce a fruit 10-15 mm diameter, which ripen to a bright red in mid to late summer. The fruits are red raspberries, in the shape of a flattened dome, sparse, with long hairs, and are fragrant. The drupelets may be carefully removed separately from the core when picked, leaving a hollow fruit which bears a resemblance to a thimble, giving the plant its name. Edible, and quite tasty too. Thimbleberry is a suckery deciduous dense shrub up to 2.5 m tall. Unlike most other members of the genus, it has no thorns. This shrub is great for a bird garden.Hardiness zones: 3-9 (-37¿¿C/-35¿¿F, -5¿¿C/25¿¿F). It is hardy to zone 3 and is not frost tender. The Rubus parviflorus likes any well drained, good soil. That plant will do well in semi-shade, or no shade. It needs a moist soil. This plant tolerates seasonal flooding. Rubus parviflorus seeds should be soaked in water for 2 days. Sow the seeds in a mix of: 6 parts milled sphagnum peat moss, 1 part perlite, and 1 part vermiculite. Cover the seeds very lightly with the medium. The greenhouse temperatures are maintained at 21 to 25¿¿C during the day for 12 hours and 15 to 18¿¿C at night for 12 hours. Germination is uniform and is usually complete in 2 weeks. The containers must be frequently checked for moisture content.
