salal, evergreen shrub, native to BC. the "berries" are sweet and have a unique flavour. they go really well with the berries of oregon grape because their sweetness balances the tartness of the latter. the young leaves can be used to flavour soups. the mature leaves are a big staple for the flower industry.
