Red Huckleberry

Vaccinium parvifolium (species)

Red huckleberry plants are deciduous shrubs that can grow up to 13 feet tall, though they’re often shorter. They have a distinctive, somewhat delicate appearance with slender, green, branching stems that contrast with the edible bright-red berries. The leaves are small, oval-shaped, and alternately arranged on the branches. They’re a bright green color that stands out in the forest undergrowth.

In the Oregon Coast Range, it is the most common Vaccinium.
