Vaccinium corymbosum, commonly known as the highbush blueberry, is a deciduous shrub native to North America. It typically grows between 1.5 to 2.5 meters tall and produces clusters of small, white to pink flowers in spring. The plant thrives in acidic soils and is often found in wetlands and forest edges. The highbush blueberry is well-known for its sweet, blue berries, which ripen in mid to late summer. These berries are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, making them a popular choice for consumption. Vaccinium corymbosum is also cultivated commercially for its fruit, contributing to the agricultural economy.
