Nootka raspberry (Rubus nutkanus) is a vigorous, fast-growing native shrub that produces large white flowers followed by edible raspberry-like fruits attractive to birds and wildlife. It thrives in partial shade with average moisture and spreads readily, so give it plenty of room or use it to stabilize slopes and woodland edges. Minimal pruning after fruiting will keep it tidy and productive.
