There are many varieties of berries known as "huckleberry" found throughout the US. In the east/southeast, the varieties are from the genus "gaylussacia" and in the west, from the genus "vaccinium". Huckleberries are not generally a cultivated plant, and from what I can ascertain, most huckleberry products in the US are still gathered from wild bushes. Huckleberries are blue/purple/black in colour.

The Saskatoon berry (also known as serviceberry in the US) is native to the Canadian prairies, and is of the genus/species "amelanchier alnifolia". The berry has a blue/red/purple colour tone, and can be found growing wild, coming into fruit in mid summer. Several different cultivars have also been developed for yard/garden production.

The plants look very similar, and have a similar flavour, though Saskatoons tend to be a little more tart and are somewhat smaller. Both berries can be used for numerous products, including pies, jams and jellies, in addition to eating fresh.

Poison sumac and edible sumac are different in terms of their appearance, toxicity, and usage. Poison sumac has white berries and causes skin irritation upon contact, while edible sumac has red berries and is safe to consume. To distinguish between the two, one should carefully examine the color of the berries and leaves, as well as consult a reliable source or expert for identification.
