The locals call S. americanum "Garden Huckleberry" around here too. Supposedly, the flavor improves if you leave the berries on the vine until after frost. I haven't tried, mainly because my chickens eat them. They also eat the plant's young leaves.
May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day --Native American Proverb
