Evergreen Huckleberry

Also known as Winter Huckleberry, California Huckleberry, Cynamoka Berry

Evergreen huckleberry is an upright, densely foliaged woodland shrub that anchors coastal forest understories along the Pacific coast of North America. Its glossy, finely toothed ovate leaves flush bright bronze-pink in spring before maturing to a deep, leathery green that persists through the winter. In spring and early summer, clusters of urn-shaped, pale pink to white blossoms hang beneath the stems, drawing native bumblebees before giving way to dark, waxy purplish-black fruits.
