Empetrum nigrum |
Zone: 4-9
Date de la Récolte: Tuesday 02 October 2007
Description:
A native evergreen dwarf ground cover with tiny lance shaped leaves and 5-6mm round black berries that adorn the stems. Judging from the dense colonies, the plants seem to prefer the exposed peat & rock slope transition areas along with Ledum (Trapper's tea) between the peatbog and naturally bonsai spruce/cedar tree line. Didn't see any plants exceeding 30 cm in height, but it can spread like its Ericaceae kin, heather.
