Hawaii - Big Island

'Ohelo 'ai, also called Hawaiian Huckleberry, Hawaiian Blueberry, Hawaiian Cranberry. Ohelo is well adapted to the volcanic environment in Hawaii, and is often seen growing on recent lava flows. Ohelo berries, usually about 1/4" in diameter and red, orange or yellow in color, are edible, and are often made into jam. They are also a major food source for Hawaii's native goose, the Nene.
