Vaccinium scoparium

Does anyone here have any experience with the grouseberry (aka grouse whortleberry)? I have tried to germinate seeds last year and had no luck but am trying again. I’d prefer to just buy some plants or cuttings but I don’t see any nurseries offering them, so that is either a sign or a missed opportunity…

I’ve encountered them in the wild here in Oregon at considerable elevation.
Tiny fruits. A nibble per square foot. Good flavor.
In general, the wild Vaccinium species require very exacting soil and climate.
