I transplanted this before I knew that it was supposed to be a difficult task!!! I used a teaspoon to gently work very small plants from forest floor. Roots ran just under the surface. 10 years later I have fruit bearing shrubs - about 5 ft. tall!!!!

Produces a tasty little berry that is similar to a blueberry. Leaves and twigs are high in vitamin C and can be made into a tea.

Will provide year round presence with its small dark glossy leaves. Grows well under fir and pine trees.
