Is anyone growing this in the NW and if so,how is it doing?I bought the last one the vendor had yesterday at the Arboretum Foundation FlorAbundance sale.From what I've read,it is slow growing,but a keeper.The scientific name is Vaccinium glauco-album. Brady

More typically referred to as Himalayan huckleberry :-) Nice, compact evergreen addition to the shade garden with the bonus of producing tasty berries. The species name glauco-album refers to the foliage color - blue (glauco) on the top of the leaf with a white (album) underside.
