Red huckleberry is a deciduous shrub native to the Pacific Northwest. It typically grows in forests, often on rotting logs or stumps, and reaches 4-12 feet in height. The plant features small, light green leaves and produces bright red, edible berries in summer. The berries are tart and are eaten by both wildlife and humans, often used in jams and pies. Red huckleberry prefers moist, acidic soils and partial shade, making it an ideal plant for woodland gardens or naturalized landscapes.
