if they are the things related to Night Shade ....When I grew them had a
fantastic crop. but didn't like the look or smell of them so binned the
lot.


..David, Huckleberry is Gaylussacia baccata. Most of the nightshades are
solanums, except for deadly nightshade, which is Atropa bella-donna.

Huckleberry is in fact a rather nice berry, but you have to wait for it to
get really ripe before eating it.

According to the RHS Encyclopaedia, hucklebery is fully hardy, needs sun or
semi-shade and moist, peaty, acid soil.
