They can be cultivated, but most people don't do well with them. They like
_very_ acid conditions (they mostly grow in pine forests). I think the
preferred pH is a little over 4. I'm probably not keeping mine acidic
enough (I got some on a rescue from a construction site about 5 years ago).
The recent recommendations I've heard are to water them with something like
1/3 cup vinegar per gallon of water. Not sure what that would do to the
crabapple tree they're currently growing under.

Nice to see some "native Americans" on this site, Danny.

How difficult are they to cultivate?

These were taken in a state park a bit northwest of Atlanta. We got
there very late in the day and there wasn't much light left, so I didn't
have time to get any good closeups. I was also playing with two cameras
which didn't help. I still need to get a good tripod to use with the
DSLR.
