Gaylussacia baccata
Gaylussacia baccata
Black huckleberry thrives in acidic, well-drained soil with partial shade, making it well-suited to woodland garden settings. Water regularly to maintain even soil moisture, especially during dry spells. Mulching with pine bark or leaf litter helps acidify the soil and retain moisture around the shallow roots.
