Edible Wild Plants

Blueberry
(Several species: Vaccinium and Gaylussacia)

 
Blueberries are familiar to most people in Canada and the USA. They do grow wild in many places, and the blue berries are delicious when ripe. The flowers are said to be edible as well.

They are variously known as Blueberries, Huckleberries, Bilberries, and Deerberries, among other common names.

For more information about Blueberries, please visit the Ontario Trees & Shrubs website.

  
The flowers. They appear sometimes very early in the season, in early to mid spring.
  
Berries starting to form. They are white at first, and are not edible in this stage.

A variation of Blueberry, in which the berries are much darker.

Note that the ends of the berries look the same as the regular blueberry, thus identifying this plant as a member of the Blueberry/Huckleberry family.
