| Dear Zorba, It appears that you have some sort of Vaccinium, possibly Vaccinium erythrocarpum. I might be wrong, though. Ross |
|
| In your area, maybe Vaccinium angustifolium. |
|
| Vaccinium erythrocarpum is a higher elevation plant with red berries. I saw it in August near Clingman's Dome in the Smokies. It's called "southern mountain cranberry" for a reason. Vaccinium angustifolium does not have red berries. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Picture of Vaccinium erythrocarpum
|
| Angustifolium is a descriptive word meaning " with narrow leaves ", which is inconsistent with the OP's photo. |
