Rubus ursinus
Unlike the two non-native blackberries, the Himalayan and the Evergreen blackberries, the male and female dewberry flowers grow on separate plants. The spindly stems of this small native berry clambers over rocks, stumps, and trails.

This native plant competes with the other blackberries in an open forest and on disturbed sites. Everyone, it seems, has picked these berries or has eaten the berries in pies, jellies, and jam. Some restaurants have made a reputation on these native blackberry pies. Besides eating the berries fresh or dried, Pacific Northwest tribes also used the leaves and roots for medicinal purposes.
