Lowbush refers to a type of wild blueberry plant, specifically the species Vaccinium angustifolium. These plants are typically low-growing, reaching heights of about 1 to 2 feet. They thrive in acidic, sandy soils and are commonly found in regions of North America, particularly in the northeastern United States and Canada. The berries produced by lowbush plants are small, sweet, and often used in various culinary applications, such as jams, jellies, and desserts. Lowbush blueberries are also important for wildlife, providing food for birds and other animals. They are often harvested commercially and are known for their intense flavor.
