Vaccinium angustifolium, commonly known as the wild lowbush blueberry, is a species of blueberry native to eastern and central Canada (from Manitoba to Newfoundland) and the northeastern United States, growing as far south as the Great Smoky Mountains and west to the Great Lakes region.[3][4] Vaccinium angustifolium is the most common species of the commercially used wild blueberries and is considered the "low sweet" berry.[5]
