Salmonberries: "insipid"?? As a native of the Puget Sound region, I grew up munching on salmonberries. They're a good and plentiful snack in a pinch. I admit, at best, they are mostly flavorless, and at worst, they can get pretty bad. But to generalize with the term insipid? I hardly think that's appropriate!

The name is no mystery

[edit]

The text says: "It is said that the name came about because of the First Nations fondness for eating the berries with half-dried salmon roe."

There might be a much more obvious reason that can explain the name: The fruit in itself ressembles salmon roe both in texture and colour. - Thomas Vinge (Denmark) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.157.183.247 (talk) 12:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also it grows where salmon are more prevalent. http://www.pwlf.org/Hocking%20and%20Reynolds%202011%20-%20Science.pdf—Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.150.32 (talk) 19:26, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What about the alternate claimed "Joffelberry" name? Who uses this, and where does it come from? I only find a few Twitter hits on Google. Equinox 01:16, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The edit in which that name was added seems to be vandalism, since propagated to a few places on the web that have taken from Wikipedia content. I'm reverting that edit now. WhisperLite (talk) 04:51, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Part of Cultivation section sounds like a how-to

[edit]

The latter part of this section seems to read as if it were a guide on how to plant and process the berries. Radioactivated (talk) 20:31, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

UBC Botanical Garden

[edit]

Hello @Ornithoptera: This edit is incorrect. The url was correct. Invasive Spices (talk) 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Invasive Spices:, I have no idea what you are talking about, the previous URL was talking about fruit polymorphism and not the double flowered group, in fact, the URL doesn't even mention the double flowered group. In addition, the botany photo of the day the reference is referring to is time stamped in 2007 when the URL regarding the fruit polymorphism is from 2015. How is the URL correct? You provide no explanation other than "the URL is correct" but it is incorrect down to the title, so I have no idea what you are talking about. Please inform me on what rationale you refer to. Ornithoptera (talk) 18:52, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I misread that. Apologies. That was obviously incorrect. Perhaps the original editor made the same mistake I did. Invasive Spices (talk) 2 May 2022 (UTC)
Fair enough, no worries at all. Wishing the best! Ornithoptera (talk) 19:23, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name origin

[edit]

This article seriously lacks an etimology, even a brief one! With such a strange name, naming a plant after an animal! Ignacio Rodríguez (talk) 03:11, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rubus spectabilisSalmonberry – per WP:COMMONNAME. The original main title header "Salmonberry" was unilaterally moved in 2007 and again in 2008. The Salmonberry (disambiguation) page also lists other common name uses for "Salmonberry", which is analogous to such headers as Cherry, Strawberry, Blueberry, Cranberry or Apple, Pear, Peach, Plum, etc. — Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 17:25, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
