Salmonberry is characterized by its erect to arching growth habit, reaching heights of 3-12 feet (0.9-3.6 meters). This robust shrub displays stems studded with numerous prickles. It is worth noting that newer growth often exhibits a higher concentration of these prickles toward the ends. Salmonberry's presence in a landscape can be particularly notable in moist, shaded areas where its dense, thicket-forming nature provides a distinct visual mass.
