Cloudberry

Cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus) is a low-growing subshrub and herb found in the wild across northern regions of North America and Eurasia, including Alaska, Scandinavia, Siberia, and parts of Europe. Known for its edible fruit, which are often harvested commercially or enjoyed fresh, cloudberry thrives in moist to wet soils that can be light (sandy), medium, or heavy (clay). It prefers full sun and a soil pH between 4 and 5.2. This perennial plant grows up to 0.3 meters tall and is distinguished by its distinctive white flowers and bright orange-yellow berries. Its native range includes Alaska, the Baltic States, Belarus, British Columbia, and other northern regions, making it a hardy and adaptable species in cold climates with winter temperatures ranging from USDA Hardiness Zones 2-4.
