An odd genus name, but presumably it's Gaylussacia not Gaylussaica in =
the other post, relating somehow to the family name of the famous French =
chemist Joseph Gay-Lussac, born in the 1700s and an author of one of the =

the name connection to the plant, that it was discovered first and named =

A few days ago I was looking for huckleberries in Queens county =
and there were hardly any.
Here in Cow Bay there are lots of blackberries but it is hard to =
find ripe ones what I blame on the robbins which seem to be everywhere =
this summer, never seen so many here. Of course, the robbins go where =
the berries are, but they used to leave lots for me, however not this =
summer.

Subject: [NatureNS] this year's blueberry and huckleberry crop ?
The wild berry season is upon us, but I am finding very, very =
few ripe fruit. I have recently visited some of my favourite berry spots =
in or near HRM, but am finding the crop very poor compared to last year. =
Particularly so for huckleberries. Any observations from wild berry =
pickers elsewhere in the province?
