I am looking into vaccinium myrtillus for a relative  - who at age 48 has 
suddenly found herself going blind from a rare form of retinal degeneration. 
Her post surgery prognosis by the eye surgeon is basically "good luck", so, 
though she is a science teacher,  she now finds herself persuing 
'alternative' forms of healing .
Bilberry keeps coming up. Some sites call it a huckleberry, one foot tall; 
but the huckleberries I remember were 4' high. Even if it has no healing 
properties, it would make good jam.        Anyone know where I could buy 
some plants?     Del,   here's a website on bilberry
