Boxed huckleberry is a low shrub with branches that rise to about 12" to 18" from underground, creeping stems, known as rhizomes. Its glossy, leathery leaves lack the resinous dots of other huckleberries, and it holds its leaves year-round while the others are deciduous. Its flowers, white or pinkish, are bell shaped. Fruits are similar to blueberries, but have fewer, larger seeds. Boxed huckleberry is on the Pennsylvania threatened plant species list. Zone 5 - 7.
