Huckleberries (Gaylussacia Kunth) are so similar to blueberries that they have often been classified as the same species. They are not grown commercially and can be found in the wild in certain regions of the United States.
Beat the bears, evade the snakes and grow your own huckleberries at home

If huckleberry and blueberry are planted close to each other would they cross pollinate?
Hi Barbara,
They might cross pollinate, but it would not change the fruit on either plant. It may, however, effect the seeds produced from either plant. The expert on this subject is Dr. Dan Barney. Contact him via his website: http://www.cals.uidaho.edu/sandpoint/Contact%20us.htm.
Good luck!
