Wild Blueberries


My hike this morning took me way up the mountain to where there are precious little Lowbush Blueberry (Vaccinium pallidum) bushes. I missed their blooms, but green berries are on the bushes now and soon they will become a meal for some bird or other animal up there.

These bushes usually grow to be 9 – 20 in tall, and the berries might get to be 3/8 inch. They’re native to central Canada and central and eastern United States. 

Yes, they’re small but they’re mighty delicious.
