*** About Salal (Gaultheria shallon): Salal, a staple in the understory of coastal forests in the Pacific Northwest, offers more than just beauty. This robust evergreen shrub thrives in both shaded woodlands and exposed coastal moors. Recognized by its thick, dark green leaves and springtime blooms of delicate bell-shaped flowers, Salal transitions into autumn with dark blue to black berries, which are both edible and historically significant to indigenous peoples as a food source. It's used today in floral arrangements and various natural remedies, illustrating its versatility and enduring appeal.
