Cook prior to consumption. (Solanum melanocerasum) Solanaceous garden berry native to Africa and commonly used as a berry substitute in baking and canning recipes. With this variety, we feel that establishing realistic expectations is critical before growing. First, this huckleberry is not the same as the native huckleberries of the Vaccinium or Gaylussacia genuses which are commonly found along the Pacific coast of the United States. Secondly, although often described as a blueberry substitute, the berries do not taste like blueberries. Instead, they are tasteless and sometimes bitter, especially when eaten raw. Garden huckleberries are traditionally cooked, sweetened and mixed with a bit of lemon juice before using in jam or pies. We also can say that we were very impressed with the productivity of this variety, with plants growing to 4' tall and yielding more than 10 gallons of berries from just three plants. We recommend harvesting the berries in the fall, once a majority of the berries have ripened. Green or under-ripe berries have been reported to be poisonous, so only harvest fully-ripe berries that are somewhat soft to the touch and have dark, dull skins (See note below.) 90-100 days from transplant. 50 seeds per packet. Note: The camera settings in the first few pictures above make the berries appear glossy. Refer to the last picture for an example of how the skins should appear at harvest. CULTURE: Sow seeds indoors 6 weeks before last frost. Plant 2-3 seeds per pot, 1/4" deep in sterile, seed-starting mix. Thin to one plant per pot after germination has occurred (10-14 days). Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 24-36" apart. Plants grow 3-4 feet tall.
