  • Question

    I think at 2.5 meters tall, with flowers and leaves emerging at the same time, and located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts this has to be Vaccinium corymbosum. The key requires mature leaves and fruit. The shrub is in the middle of the distant shot in front of the straight tree leaning slightly left. It is at the edge of a clearing.

    Answer

    Dear jfc, yes, again, I do believe this to be Vaccinium corymbosum. The coetaneous flowering limits this to V. corymbosum or C. caesariense, but the latter is much less common. Best wishes.
