Evergreen huckleberry is a new plant to the garden this year (2020), with several small shrubs added to the new native plant garden in April. They appear to be pretty slow growing for me, and I\u2019m hoping I\u2019ll get them to full and fruiting size in the next year or two. My understanding is that mature height is anywhere from three to six feet tall and wide, depending on sun exposure and other factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plants have attracive leaves that are reddish when they first appear and then turn a healthy shade of shiny green. The berries will be a bonus for wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
