Wild berries

Does anyone know a good place to buy wild blueberry or huckleberry plants for drier locations? The commercial varieties don’t seem to like it here. I tried acidifying the soil.

Missouri has a native variety, Vaccinium pallidum, that’s supposed to like drier locations and need a little less acidity. I’ve never found wild plants. I’d like to add this species and any others that might like it here to my edible landscaping. Oikos has seeds, but the seeds are so tiny that it must take a long time for them to get started.

Came across a wild blueberry (I think) at the southern edge of our field. This is not a particularly wet area, though not far away, like 6 yards away) we had standing water a few weeks ago in a low area. I think so far we have found 5 types of berries, a ton of wild raspberries, strawberries, a boysenberry and an as yet unidentified variety.

Sorry for the lousy photo...

hau Ken, the Huckleberry and the Saskatoon (serviceberry) are the ones that will do well for you.  As far as I've been able to discern here in AR. I'll have to go into the woods with my shovel to locate huckleberry bushes, I can't find them at my "Local plants" growers.

I have some blueberries again but like you, these just don't seem to like any place I plant them.

James, that’s great! Someone on here can probably ID the unknown berry.

Bryant, I have never seen a wild huckleberry or blueberry. I think they may not grow in my immediate area.  I know they grow not too far from here. Guess I need to get out and look.

The raspberries are starting to come in...
