Question
Hello there, I was wondering if it is possible for anyone to shed light on what species this blueberry bush is. It is a high bush, located in the woods of Salem Sound, Massachusetts. It flowers nicely but does not produce many berries. Thank you Very Much, SueLB
Answer
Dear SueLB, this plant is likely Vaccinium corymbosum. I believe I can see some minute cilia along the leaf margins in your images, which would rule out Vaccinium caesariense (the only other species it could be). Vaccinium corymbosum is our most common species of highbush blueberry in New England. Best wishes.
