I walked by these plants probably more than 100 times over the last few years and I
never noticed anything. But I’ll be looking for Huckleberries some time this
Summer! Only three Huckleberry plants grow in New England:
- Dwarf Huckleberry (Gaylussacia bigeloviana) grows to a height of
only 8 inches to 24 inches (20 - 50 cm).
- Blue Huckleberry (Gaylussacia frondosa) has flower stems that are 10-25 mm
long, blue berries and resin dots on only the back side of the leaves.
- Black Huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata) has flower stems that are 7 mm or
less long, flower racemes that do not commonly exceed the leaves, black berries and
resin dots on both sides of the leaves.
