The northern highbush blueberry, whose botanical name is vaccinium corymbosum, is a species of blueberry native to North America.
These blueberries are an important food crop and are the most common commercial blueberry in North America.
The Native Americans, for whom these blueberries are native, used the berries in their cooking.
And it is believed that for thousands of years, many wild species of vaccinium have been cultivated by Native Americans.
