Salmonberry can be found in USDA zones 5 – 9, from southern Alaska to California and scattered throughout the areas west of the Coast and Cascade Mountains. Salmonberry occurs in moist forest openings and disturbed sites at elevations below 3000’. It can tolerate light shade, however, its prevalence decreases as the forest canopy closes and deep shade develops.

The first sight of the nodding, cupped flowers on the Salmonberry bushes signals the return of the Rufous hummingbird.
