<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/div><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Vaccinium atlanticum is a cultivated blueberry that resulted from a cross between two American blueberry species. It is a deciduous shrub species of the heather family. The plant reaches a height of 1 to 2 metres and is characterised by its often red-coloured twigs. The leaves are ovate to elliptical, often with a finely toothed leaf margin, and can turn an intense red in autumn. In spring the shrub flowers with small, bell-shaped, white to pink flowers that are clustered at the ends of the twigs. These flowers develop into small, dark blue to almost black berries with a sweet-sour taste. These fruits are not only popular with wild animals such as birds and mammals, but also with humans. In natural habitats, Vaccinium atlanticum is often found in peat bogs, on sandy or gravelly soils and in sparse forests.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
