Lowbush Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) - 20240629-03

            The wild lowbush blueberry is a species of blueberry native to eastern and central Canada (from Manitoba to Newfoundland) and the northeastern United States, growing as far south as the Great Smoky Mountains and west to the Great Lakes region. In its native habitat the plant grows in open conifer woods, old fields, and sandy or rocky balds.

Many animals feed on the fruit and foliage of the lowbush berry, some of which include black bears, raccoons, foxes, white-tailed deer and birds.  Its leaves are also popular among caterpillars. It is a larval host to many species of moth.

It is the most common species of the commercially used wild blueberries and is considered the "low sweet" berry. (Wikipedia)
--------------
We were just a little too early for finding many ripe blueberries, although we each found one to taste (so yummy).  I didn't know they grew in a spire like this, so interesting to see.
