Fun fact -- Blueberries and huckleberries are similar in appearance and usage since they're close relatives in the family Ericaceae. Most think they are totally distinct, not knowing they are close relatives. The easiest way to differentiate them is to look at the seeds. blueberry has several very tiny seeds while huckleberry has 10 hard seeds. Genetics is great. God bless!
Hi Mrs. Wanda! I grew a dozen “Garden Huckleberries” from seed (Baker Creek) last year and gave them away. Everyone was happy to receive baby berry bushes they could make jam with. (3 each is always a good number in case one dies…😮) People loved the huckleberry plants! I enjoy growing baby plants! I learned a lot from your videos . 😊
Miss Wanda, I know how very busy you are so thank you for taking time out of your day to show us so painstakingly your berry bushes. Here in Indiana I don't know if they grow as perennials but I did buy some seeds for Baker Creek so we'll see
Wanda I'm a country gal. I grew up in the country and yes the huckleberries you said were huckleberries and I agree. They are definitely huckleberries. The berries are different from any other
Our blueberries are just now blooming. It is normally around the end of June to the first of July before they get ripe. What we call huckleberries in our area only gets about mid shin high and is just a little bigger than a BB.
OH HECK YEAH WANDA. I'VE NEVER SEEN THOSE 😐 😳 IT REMINDS ME OF THE MOVIE TOMB STONE WHERE THE GUY SAID... I'M YOUR HUCKLEBERRY. AWESOME TEACHING WANDA ❤ I LOVE YOU WANDA. ❤
Those are definitely huckleberries Ms Wanda you are correct they look just like our wild ones except are bushes are very busy and lots more berries. Great information love your videos Hod bless
Good afternoon Ms Wanda I love the video we don't have huckleberry bushes but we have choke cherries they grow simular to your huckleberry, I love that you are letting them grow naturally I have wild blueberries the bush is only 2 or 3ft shrubs and I have red currant bushes
Had a friend from Fla bring me 3 huckleberry bushes from her woods. They are growing 😮great and hoping next year I will have huckleberries. I have small blueberries bushes also. Thanks for the video.
well....learned something new.....thankyou for the informative video....assumed I had some wild blueberries in the wood line but the are huckleberries instead.
Wanda where do y’all buy your bulk red clover? I have a wild berry tree behind my fence ( still my property), in wooded area that produces every spring, unsure of what it is so I don’t eat them. Great video thanks!
When I was a child we went camping all the time and I really got into what was edible and what wasn't. I can't remember most of it now but I never find wild berries hardly anywhere these days. You are very fortunate to have so many berries on your property. Wild or tame. Do you have any raspberries?
Here you need to be careful as the wild huckleberries are often poisonous. Even the garden huckleberries must be very ripe or they aren't good. They have to be shiny black not dull dark purple or they can still be bad. Pretty much they have to be cooked not just picked an eaten.
