Garden Huckleberry
Solanum scabrum
Price: $4.45
SKU: 339002180 days - Although a lot of companies state that this is a "new" plant variety, it has in fact been cultivated for many decades. An interesting looking plant, similar to tomato plants with pepper-like leaves. They reach about three feet in height and produce hundreds of, half-inch, dark purple, almost black, fruit.
Harvest when the fruit turns from glossy to dull. They have little flavor raw and only used cooked into pies and preserves and can be canned and frozen for later use in recipes. Although they do not have a strong taste, some people may not care for them while others will love them.

a veggie grown by pioneer families from the midwest. tasty berries. if kept on the dry side, will sweeten up nicley. wonder berry superior in flavor and size & is NOT the same plant as solanum nigrum. both may re-seed freely
