Growing Evergreen Huckleberry in Tennessee Zone 7 Clay

Annette wants to grow evergreen huckleberry in part shade under red oaks. Huckleberries need 6 hours of full sun for good production; they're in the tomato/pepper family (Solanaceae) and require warm, frost‑free conditions. Use 5‑10‑10 fertilizer. Shade will reduce yields significantly.
