DISCLAIMER:  There is conflicting information regarding the toxicity of plants in the Solanum melanocerasum species.  To be safe, only harvest fully ripe berries with dull, dark skins as green or under-ripe berries may be poisonous.  Cook prior to consumption.

Garden Huckleberry is a solanaceous garden berry native to Africa that is commonly used as a berry substitute in baking and canning recipes.  With this variety, we feel that establishing realistic expectations is critical before growing.  First, this huckleberry is not the same as the native huckleberries of the Vaccinium or Gaylussacia genera which are commonly found along the Pacific coast of the United States.  Secondly, although often described as a blueberry substitute, the berries do not taste like blueberries.  Instead, they are tasteless and sometimes bitter, especially when eaten raw.  We tried folding them into a blueberry muffin recipe and found that they did not cook sufficiently enough to soften.  Our children were not really impressed with the product, but it is very possible that our preparation was lacking.

Despite our experience, we have decided to offer this variety on a trial basis because we have heard so many gardeners rave about how good they are when cooked, sweetened and mixed with a bit of lemon juice before using in jam or pies.  We also can say that we were very impressed with the productivity of this variety, with plants growing to 4' tall and yielding more than 10 gallons of berries from just three plants. 

We recommend harvesting the berries in the fall, once a majority of the berries have ripened.  Green or under-ripe berries have been reported to be poisonous, so only harvest fully-ripe berries that are somewhat soft to the touch and have dark, dull skins (See note below.)  90-100 days from transplant.  50 seeds per packet.

Note: The camera settings in the first few pictures above make the berries appear glossy.  Refer to the last picture for an example of how the skins should appear at harvest.

Good fit
Material Type: Black - 3 Pairs, Size: X-Large
My husband just started using these and they feel comfortable. Hasn't used them long enough to see if his heels are better. He has a high arch so I bought him the XL and they fit perfectly.

No more painful cracked heels! These really do work!
Material Type: Black - 3 Pairs, Size: X-Large
These really do work well. This is one of the first winters that I have not experienced painful, cracked heels. They are long lasting, and definitely make my heels smoother and softer after wearing them. For the first few times wearing them I simply went with the moisturizer embedded in them. After a few uses I then covered my heels with Aquaphor Advanced Therapy Healing Ointment. This worked even better, and I would recommend it. I am very glad I bought these. Of note, I have really big feet that are quite wide and the XL are a little snug but not uncomfortably so. I use them overnight, but also have worn them under socks and they work fine.

Wonderful for dry feet
Material Type: Black - 3 Pairs, Size: X-Large
I have been dealing with dry skin and problems with the heel of my foot, so I thought I would give these a try. I am so glad I did. They moisturize beautifully. A must is you are having trouble with your feet.

X-Large is about a size 12-13 shoe size foot USA.
Material Type: Black - 3 Pairs, Size: X-Large
I love them they work fantastic. I am a big guy with swollen feet. Wear size 12 to 13 USA Shoes. They fit me just fine not tight. My feet felt good after wearing them for two days. Some dry skin pulled off with them and it says to wash by hand. I dont know about the durability but I am hoping to get about 5 uses per pair. Before they become unusable.
