[nafex] Western Huckleberry: Vaccinium Ovatum

[Ginda Fisher <ginda@concentric.net>]

Has anyone tried to grow the Pacific NW evergreen huckleberry on the
east coast?  Raintree and One Green World both claim it is a fruit that
grows well in partial shade (of which I have some spare) and I'm
wondering if it will make it here.  Raintree bills it hardy zones 7-10,
OGW 6-9.  I'm zone 6, and think it might be worth a shot.  I can give it
some protection and plenty of mulch - so long as it likes oak leaves.  

Thanks,
Ginda Fisher
Eastern Mass, zone 6
