Description

Rubus ursinus — Pacific blackberry (Rosaceae family).

  • Only native blackberry in Washington state. Berries edible (ripe in July timeframe usually), some prefer them to the more common invasive Himalayan blackberry.
  • Per Pojar: "A tea was made with the dried leaves, which were thought to be best collected in the fall when they turn red. The leaves and roots were used to treat diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, excessive menstruation, fevers, haemorrhoids & sores in the mouth. The leaves were added to bitter medicines to sweeten the flavor." Male & female plants are separate; not uncommon to find large patches of male bushes without fruit.
