We used to pick cloudberries when I lived in Alaska. There probably is a commercial source for them somewhere. But I don't know if they can take the heat much south of their native range. It's also possible they require the long days of Arctic and sub-arctic summers to produce. Sorry if that's not much help.

Hi folks,

I'm wondering if anyone on here knows anything about Cloudberries.  I'm also looking for a commercial source for Cloudberry plants or seeds.

English: cloudberry
German: Moltebeere, Torfbeere
Canada, USA (Alaska): cloudberry, bakeapple
Scientific Names

Species: Rubus chamaemorus L.
Family: Rosaceae



I found some Cloudberry jam at Ikea and, aside from being too sweet like almost all commercial jams, we thought it was really good.  They resemble large yellow raspberries and their seeds is also like large raspberry seeds!  The information I found online mentioned their hardiness and the fact that they grow naturally in Canada and other Northern countries.

Thanks,

Sarah
