Highbush Blueberries: A Commercial and Home Garden Favorite
Highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) are a species of blueberry that is native to eastern North America. They are known for their large, juicy berries and are commonly grown in commercial blueberry fields. Highbush blueberries are considered to be a "high-bush" variety because they grow taller than lowbush or wild blueberries, typically reaching heights of 3-6 feet (90-180 cm). They are also more vigorous and productive than lowbush varieties, producing larger yields of fruit. Highbush blueberries are often used in commercial production because of their size and ease of cultivation, but they can also be grown in home gardens for fresh eating or freezing.
