GAYLUSSACIA brachycera
 
Size 6-8" - $25.00 
 
Description: We have two species of Gaylussacia native to our property in New Jersey. G. baccata, the Black Huckleberry and G. frondosa, Dangleberry. Superficially, they resemble blueberries; in fact, they were assigned to the genus vaccinium at one time. G. brachycera, the Box Huckleberry, was named for its ornamental evergreen, boxwood like leaves about an inch long. It is native to the east coast, but is very rare, found only in a few isolated, scattered areas including Pennsylvania and Tennessee. It reportedly does not produce viable seed, possibly due to self-infertility, as the known populations seem to consist of single clones. It spreads by underground rootstocks to form a colony. It requires well-drained, acidic soil and at least a half day of full sun.
