What is blueberry?

blueberry, plant of the large genus Vaccinium,widely distributed shrubs (occasionally small trees) of the family Ericaceae (heath family), usually found on acid soil. They are often confused with the related huckleberry. Blueberries were a favorite food of the Native Americans, who ate them fresh or dried them for winter use. The berries have been an article of commerce since early days. The high-bush blueberry (V. corymbosum) and the low-bush blueberry (V. augustifolium or pennsylvanicum), native to North America from Minnesota eastward, are the species most often cultivated, and a number of varieties are now grown in the East and West. Various species are sometimes called bilberry or whortleberry. The "huckleberry" of florists, sold for greenery, is a West Coast evergreen species, V. ovatum, called box blueberry and kinnikinick. The related cranberry is considered by some botanists to be of the same genus as the blueberries. Blueberries are classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Ericales, family Ericaceae.

What kind of conditions are the best for growing blueberry plants?

Blueberry CareI have two blueberry plants. When I went to the green house to buy them, they told me that I would need 2 blueberry plants so they could cross pollinate each other and would be able to produce blueberries. I planted them close together, the first year they did not produce a lot of blueberries, but that is normal, but each year that passes by they produce more and more blueberries. In the fall time, you need to let the leaves that fall near them to stay near the plant, to protect them from the winter weather. In the spring after the last hard frost, you need to remove the leaves from around them. Now to keep birds from eating your blueberries, the lady that worked at the green house said that I should place some old CD's in the ground near the plants. The birds can't stand the bright light that is given off by the CD's. I have never had any birds eat my blueberries.

you also need to watch the pH, blueberrys need a very acid soil.

Is a blueberry a vegetable or a fruit?

It is a simple fruit; a fruit that develops from a single ovary in a single flower. A fruit is the edible reproductive body of a plant and contains a seed (or stone) or multiple seeds.
