I like this idea. I think the early varieties of southern blueberries would produce fruit before the spot becomes completely shady. And from what I read, it sounds like the "Evergreen Huckleberry", Vaccinium ovatum, would do well with sun or shade, and it is a nice-looking everygreen shrub with edible fruit. Have any of you eaten it? Is it worth growing for food? I know the Native Americans traditionally ate it, but they didn't have a vast array of improved cultivars of other tasty fruit to choose from!
