 Vaccinium pennsylvanicum, Lam. Low Blueberry. Fig. 3893. A dwarf shrub, 6-15 in. high: branchlets glabrous or hairy northward: lvs. membranous, oblong-lanceolate or elliptical, acute, distinctly serrulate with bristly pointed teeth, shining and green on both sides but often hairy on the midrib beneath: fls. on short pedicels: corolla short-cylindraceous, greenish white: berries large, bluish black with a bloom, sweet, the earliest to ripen in the North.

'''Lowbush Blueberry''' (''Vaccinium angustifolium'') is a species of [[blueberry]] native to eastern and central [[Canada]] and the [[Northeastern United States|northeastern]] [[United States]], growing as far south as [[West Virginia]] and west to [[Minnesota]] and [[Manitoba]].

It is a low spreading [[deciduous]] [[shrub]] growing to 60 cm tall, though usually 35 cm tall or less.

The [[leaf|leaves]] are glossy blue-green in summer, turning purple in the fall. The leaf shape is broad to elyptic. Buds are brownish red in stem axels. The [[flower]]s are white, bell-shaped, 5 mm long.

The [[fruit]] is a small sweet dark blue to black berry. This plant grows best in wooded or open areas with well-drained acidic soils. In some areas it produces natural blueberry barrens, where it is practically the only species covering large areas.

This plant is fire-tolerant and its numbers often increase in an area following a forest fire.

This native plant is also grown commercially in Canada and [[Maine]], mainly harvested from managed wild patches. It is also a favorite of recreational berry pickers, [[American Black Bear|black bear]]s, rodents and birds. The Lowbush Blueberry is the state fruit of Maine.
