Fruit and berries are the most economically important part of  Huckleberry

Huckleberries are naturally adapted to short-season areas and elevations of 2,000 feet and above.

On larger plantings, if you expect temperatures to drop below 28˚F, apply water with overhead sprinklers beginning when the temperature drops to 32˚F.

Huckleberry cultivation needs sunlight to produce a full crop of fruit.

Black Huckleberries are usually found on well-drained, sandy loam soils that are formed from volcanic ash and that hold moisture well.

Typical bulk densities of these native soils are 0.6 to 0.8
