Gaylussacia baccata

Black huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata) is a native eastern North American shrub distinct from Vaccinium huckleberries, bearing shiny blue-black berries in summer that differ from blueberries in having 10 large, hard seeds rather than many tiny seeds. Plants form slow-spreading colonies via rhizomes in dry, acidic soils (pH 4.0–5.0) and are extremely fire-adapted and long-lived. The berries have a rich, complex flavor prized for pies and preserves — often considered superior to blueberries by foragers. Difficult to cultivate commercially; best suited to naturalistic plantings in appropriate native habitat. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 24–48 дюймів Висота: 12–36 дюймів Дні до схожості: null–null Температура ґрунту для схожості: -18–-18°C
