The blueberry plant is a perennial within the genus Vaccinium, which also includes cranberries and bilberries. Native to North America, it can grow up to 13 feet tall, though it often appears as a shorter shrub, with leaves about three inches long and 1.5 inches wide. Flowers are bell-shaped, and may be white, pale pink, red, or greenish. The prize of the plant is the berries, which are about a half-inch in diameter with a flared crown at the end. Blueberries are known for their antioxidant-rich content and sweet berry taste. A protective coating called an “epicuticular wax” covers them, and they may ripen anytime between May and August, depending on growing conditions.
