- Black Huckleberry is an iconic Northwest berry with delicious and healthy fruit.
- In our humble opinion (and the bears), this may be the best wild berry in the West!
- Black Huckleberry produces a sweet purple-black berry, highly prized for both fresh eating and cooking/preserving.
- Summer in the Northwest isn't complete without a huckleberry milkshake or cobbler. And the joy continues into Fall/Winter with huckleberry jams, frozen berries, fruit leathers, and dried huckleberry "raisins".
- If you have a large bird population, plants can be covered with netting to keep the birds from eating all the berries
