Rubus spectabilis 'Golden Ruby'

Chances are, anyone living in the Pacific NW has seen a salmonberry bush, most often in parks or along hiking trails in the summer when orange berries appear. 'Golden Ruby' salmonberry is unique, with airy, chartreuse foliage that can grow into a four to six foot tall, upright mound. Those aiming for a woodland or native garden may wish to consider adding this Oregon native to the landscape, as it adds color and textural interest for humans, food in the form of flowers then berries for pollinators and birds, and coverage and protection for small ground dwelling critters. Spreading by underground rhizomes, 'Golden Ruby' salmonberry can grow to five feet wide, and may naturalize if it likes the environment.
