It offers year-round structure in the landscape and provides an attractive naturalistic accent in shaded or woodland plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe small glossy leaves and dense branching make evergreen huckleberry a fine choice for hedges, foundation plantings, and mixed borders. The berries are edible and used in jams, pies, and fresh eating, while the foliage provides seasonal interest.
