Blueberrys

Blueberries are perennial flowering plants with blue– or purple–colored berries. They are classified in the section Cyanococcus within the genus Vaccinium. Vaccinium also includes cranberries, bilberries, huckleberries and Madeira blueberries. Commercial "blueberries" – including both wild and cultivated blueberries – are all native to North America. The highbush blueberry varieties were introduced into Europe during the 1930s.
