Trailing Raspberry

Rubus pedatus

Description:

The berries grow in small clumps of drupelets. I usually find 1-3 on a berry but there can be more. The berries have a little divot and a hair at the tip of each drupelet, unlike salmonberries and other similar fruits that grow here. The leaves are divided into 5 leaflets, further differentiating them from other similarly fruiting plants. I have also noticed that the berries seem to go from red to pink as they fully mature, which seems unusual as most berries get darker with maturity. I am not sure if that is always the case, but it has been the few times I have tried them.

Habitat:

Wet, mossy ground on Afognak Island.
