Rubus leucodermis
Also called Blackcap Raspberry, Black Raspberry, Blackcap, Blackcap Raspbery, Dark Raspberry, Western Black Raspberry, White Barked Raspberry
Whitebark raspberry (Rubus leucodermis) is a deciduous western North American shrub, 0.5 to 2.5 m tall, grown for its dark, edible berries; it is a species, not a genus. Its canes live two years, fruiting in the second, so keep a mix of new and older canes for a steady crop.
Rubus leucodermis, also called whitebark raspberry, blackcap raspberry, blue raspberry, or Chkohpeen by the Yurok is a species of Rubus native to western North America. Despite its name, it has no connection to the artificial flavoring known as blue raspberry.
The species can be found from Alaska southward along the Pacific coast as far as California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Chihuahua.
