This Pacific Northwest cultivar – a hybrid between a selection of R. ursinus and ‘Waldo’ (another cultivar that is a second-generation descendant of Marionberry) – produces small, intensely flavored berries with a unique wild taste. Developed to retain the desirable traits of wild blackberries, including their delicious flavor and small size, Wild Treasure is excellent for fresh eating, processing into jams and wines, and for attracting birds and butterflies. Hardy to Zone 6. Photo courtesy of Wikipedia.
