Boulder Raspberry
Boulder raspberry is a native shrub grown for its large white flowers. Naturally occuring in the mountains and foothills along Colorado's Front Range, it has an arching, vase-shaped growth habit with thornless branches.
In May and June, it produces large white single flowers. Later, small raspberry-like fruit appear, but are grainy and inedible. Birds like to eat the fruit.
