Vaccinium angustifolium

Lowbush Blueberry (Lat.Vaccinium angustifolium) is a species of blueberry native to eastern and central Canada and the northeastern United States, growing as far south as West Virginia and west to Minnesota and Manitoba. The fruit is a small sweet dark blue to black berry. This plant grows best in wooded or open areas with well-drained acidic soils. In some areas it produces natural blueberry barrens, where it is practically the only species covering large areas. This plant is fire-tolerant and its numbers often increase in an area following a forest fire. Traditionally, small blueberry growers event burnt their fields on purpose once in a few years to get rid of shrubs and fertilize the soil. In acadian french, a blueberry field is known as a "brûlis" (from brûlé, burnt) because of that technique, which is still in use.
