Great! I remember using Salal leaves for wreaths and backing but never saw or used the berries! Lucky you, Sarah.

The partridge berry. Creeping wintergreen.
2"- 6" tall with dark green leaves, pink flowers and bright red fruit. Grow in a lime free soil.
The berries will last until hard frost or taken by birds.

On question - Gaultheria procumbens

As far as I know they are acid loving so if you use ericaciouc compost it should be OK. I planted one in a container because it was obviously dying in the garden, and I did not know it was acid loving at the time. I put it in multi purpose compost ia a pot and it did not recover. You learn from experience, and in our part of the world we probably have the wrong conditions.
