salmonberry

Pink Northwestern drupe

A salmonberry is a shrub native to the Pacific Northwest coast, or its edible fruit.

The berries resemble raspberries but range from yellow to orange to deep red—the salmon-colored varieties giving the plant its name.

The flavor is mild and slightly tart: We picked salmonberries along the trail.
