Huckleberries ?
« on: January 11, 2009, 18:32 »
Has anyone tried growing Huckleberries from seed ?  If so is there any sort of special treatment needed to get them to greminate.  :roll:

i grew some about 8 or so years back in my mothers garden - they were easy to grow, just plant in rows with a dibber and up come a load of little bushes - but difficult to do anything with having grown them - they have to deseeded to make jam a process that takes forever and a day , and once made it actually wasnt that nice

an interesting experiment but not one i'm going to repeat.

I grew them last year.  They did really well, even in shade, had loads of berries - but they don't taste of anything. :?
Apparently they are full of vitamins and you are supposed to use them to bulk out other ingredients in jam etc.
If I had tasted them before I started I wouldn't have bothered - certainly won't grow them again.  :cry:
