Berried Treasure Huckleberry is a vigorous evergreen shrub with a low-spreading habit and rich green foliage that turns brilliant red in fall. Clusters of white bell-shaped flowers bloom in spring and give way to small edible black-blue berries in summer. Best fruit production in part sun and moist well-drained acidic soils.
