They grow natively, here, but not many native plant sellers seem to sell them, citing their difficulty in cultivating them.

I soaked 30 seeds for 24 hours, then planted them in a seed starter greenhouse with peat under a grow light.

    Thank you! I thought about taking a cutting, but the only close place with huckleberries is a local (beloved) park where taking cuttings may be frowned upon. If I still can’t get seeds started in a month or two, I might work up the courage to sneak a small branch x3

      I wouldn’t bother with seeds tbh. Starting seeds is playing genetic lottery, and you might end up having weak plants.

      I’d use wild occuring ones if I were you. The whole selection game has already been played there for you.

      You can also create a “bandage” and keep it wet. That will cause roots to form there
