Blackcap Raspberry (Rubus leucodermis)

Also known as the whitebark raspberry for its unique white colored vines, this plant produces delicious berries which start as red and are ready to be harvested in mid to late summer once they turn purple or black. You can use this as an addition to a woodland garden and it does well when in low to mid-elevations and grows well next to other native berry plants. If canes touch the ground, they can reroot and spread further.
