Who discovered the blueberry?

Answer 1

Blueberries were not "discovered" in the traditional sense, as they are a native fruit to North America and have been consumed by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. European settlers learned about blueberries from Indigenous tribes, who used them for food and medicinal purposes. The cultivation of blueberries began in the early 20th century, with notable contributions from botanist Frederick V. Coville, who developed the first commercial varieties.
