Montana grows a lot of huckleberries. I have frequently seen huckleberry jam and huckleberry soap manufactureed in Montana. They also grow in Oregon. They seem to be very closely related to blueberries. I really liked the Robert Fronst poem at the bottom of this excerpt from a nursery site: Huckleberries are delicious and are rarely available in nurseries. Huckleberries and blueberries are closely related "Vaccinium" species. Generally the wild Pacific NW species are called "Huckleberries" and the eastern species are called "Blueberries". All are delicious and are rarely available in nurseries. Each is a great edible landscape plant and can fill a niche in your yard. We offer balled and burlapped plants saved by special permit from destruction in clear cut and roadway areas, as well as nursery grown plants. USEFUL FACTS ORIGIN: Blueberries have been part of the American culinary tradition long before the white man came to these shores. This is one berry the Europeans can’t claim! One can wax poetic over these berries as Robert Frost did in a poem. ‘Blueberries as big as the end of your thumb, Real sky blue, and heavy, and ready to drum In the cavernous pail of the first one to come!’ raintreenursery.com
