This wintergreen is native to Newfoundland and quite common in our forests.

Are the berries edible?

Very much so...taste just like wintergreen toothpaste!

Mmm, I just planted a wintergreen myself a couple of weeks ago. I hope it makes it through the winter.

I'd be interested in purchasing "Gaultheria hispidula". Does anyone have it?
