Naming the Hole

The Oregon Huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum), also known as evergreen huckleberry or California huckleberry, is a versatile and attractive shrub. Here’s a brief botanical description:

• Leaves: Small, leathery, evergreen leaves that are glossy and dark green on the upper side, with a lighter underside. The leaves are oval-shaped and serrated along the edges.

• Flowers: Small, urn-shaped, pinkish-white flowers that appear in clusters, typically blooming in spring.

• Fruits: Small, dark purple to black berries that are edible and have a sweet-tart flavor. The berries usually ripen in late summer to early fall.

• Height: Can vary widely, from low-growing ground cover to shrubs that reach up to 10 feet tall, depending on growing conditions.

• Habitat: Prefers acidic, well-drained soils and thrives in partial to full shade. It is commonly found in coastal forests and mountain regions from British Columbia to California.

Oregon Huckleberry not only provides beautiful foliage and delicious berries but also supports local wildlife.
