Vaccinium corymbosum aka Blueberry

Vaccinium corymbosum, also known as the northern highbush blueberry, is a North American species of blueberry that has become a significant food crop of economic importance. This deciduous shrub can grow up to 6-12 feet tall and wide and is often found in dense thickets. The dark glossy green elliptical leaves can reach up to 2 inches long and turn a brilliant red, orange, yellow, and/or purple in autumn. The flowers are long bell- or urn-shaped and white to very light pink. The fruit is a small 1⁄4-to-1⁄2-inch diameter blue-black berry. This plant is commonly found in wooded or open areas with moist acidic soils and is the most commonly commercially grown blueberry in North America. It is also cultivated as an ornamental plant for home and wildlife gardens and natural landscaping projects. On the other hand, Sunshine Blue Blueberry is a rare houseplant that requires regular watering to thrive. It prefers long-lasting, direct light and should be positioned less than 1 foot from a window. This plant prefers soil that is well-draining and does not require added fertilizers if repotted each time it doubles in size.
