Blueberry 🫐

Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

Habitat: Blueberry plants are native to North America, and they are commonly found in forests, woodland edges, and open areas with acidic soil. They prefer cooler climates and thrive in regions with well-drained soil and ample sunlight. Blueberries are also cultivated in gardens and farms in suitable regions worldwide.

Life Cycle: Blueberry plants are perennial shrubs that can live for many years. They have a multi-stemmed growth habit and typically reach a height of 4 to 7 feet (1.2 to 2.1 meters) when fully grown. The leaves are small, elliptical, and green, turning vibrant shades of red, orange, or yellow in the autumn.

Flowers and Berries: Blueberry plants produce clusters of small, bell-shaped flowers in the spring. The flowers are usually white or pale pink and provide a beautiful display. After pollination, the flowers give way to small, round berries that ripen during the summer months. Blueberries are typically blue or purple in color, although there are also varieties that produce red or white berries. The berries are known for their sweet and tangy flavor.
