The Salmonberries at Tree Frog Farm are well established in our Red Alder grove which overlooks neighboring Orcas Island. It is a native deciduous shrub, and a cousin of the common garden raspberry. The Salmonberry has small thorns on its golden brown branches and can grow to 10 feet in ideal sites, making it an ideal selection for hedges, visual screens and erosion control. In March the magenta Salmonberry flowers begin blooming as the foliage emerges, and serve as an early spring nectar source for the returning Rufous Hummingbird. It produces deliciously tart, salmon pink to purple fruit in early summer that is eaten by humans, birds and animals.
Salmonberry: Support for New Directions
Just as the hummingbirds are nourished on Salmonberry nectar after a potentially dangerous journey, we can be supported by Salmonberry flower essence as we choose to risk for our new direction.
