Vaccinium elliottii - Leaves An unripe Elliott's blueberry, the actual berry is at the picture's bottom. (wikipedia.org)
Vaccinium elliottii - Elliott's Blueberry or High Bush Blueberry produces dark berries that ripen in the summer and has beautiful red fall foliage. (mailordernatives.com)
Noted for its 2 crops per year, Vaccinium corymbosum 'Sweetheart' (Highbush Blueberry) is a bushy upright deciduous shrub, with oval dark green leaves turning brilliant red shades in the fall. (gardenia.net)
How many Vaccinium corymbosum 'Sweetheart' (Highbush Blueberry) do I need for my garden? (gardenia.net)
V. elliottii is in the blueberry family and blueberry are notorious for blueberry stem blight. (underhillbonsai.com)
The dominant longleaf pines ( P. palustris ) form a sparse canopy over palmetto ( Serenoa repens ) and rhizomatous dwarf shrubs, including dwarf live oak ( Quercus minima ), runner oak ( Q. elliottii ), blueberry ( Vaccinium ) and grass species, include wiregrass ( Aristida stricta ). (duke.edu)
All species whose English common names include "blueberry" are currently classified in section Cyanococcus of the genus Vaccinium . (zubiaga.org)
Several other plants of the genus Vaccinium also produce blue berries which are sometimes confused with blueberries, mainly the predominantly European bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), which in many languages has a name that means "blueberry" in English. (zubiaga.org)
Myrsinites2
The objective of this study was to identify single locus microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers that are useful for genetic diversity assessment in four important Vaccinium species from the southeastern US including V. elliottii, V. darrowii, V. fuscatum and V. myrsinites. (usda.gov)
Twenty-three SSRs were screened on a test panel of eight samples consisting of four V. darrowii accessions, two V. elliottii representatives, and one accession each from V. fuscatum and V. myrsinites. (usda.gov)
Shrub5
Vaccinium elliottii is a deciduous shrub 2-4 m (6.6-13.1 ft) tall, with small, simple ovoid-acute leaves 15-30 mm (0.59-1.18 in) long with a finely serrated margin. (wikipedia.org)
Vaccinium arbuscula is a deciduous Shrub growing to 0.6 m (2ft). (pfaf.org)
Vaccinium vacciniaceum is an evergreen Shrub growing to 0.5 m (1ft 8in). (pfaf.org)
V. elliottii is an understory shrub-like plant that loves acidic and wet soils amongst stands of native pines. (underhillbonsai.com)
Species5
From my experience working with the species thus far, I have made a few conclusions: for one our V. elliottii should be allowed to fully recover and be growing vigorously before work. (underhillbonsai.com)
Prescribed burning at 3-yr intervals and invasive species removal restored the savannahs, which is interspersed with shallow depressions that support pondcypress ( Taxodium ascendens ) circled by slash pine ( P. elliottii ) and hardwoods. (duke.edu)
Hybrids of this with other Vaccinium species adapted to southern U.S. climates are known collectively as Southern highbush blueberries. (zubiaga.org)
Our area, with 20 species (24 taxa) in 6 sections, has a greater diversity of Vaccinium than any other comparably sized area in North America. (floraquest.org)
Note that V. elliottii also has even smaller leaves, but they are dark green, shiny, and the species has a semi-evergreen look. (ncparks.gov)
V. elliottii is more interesting for our practice since it naturally has a smaller leaf then V. arboreum and produces white bell flowers earlier in the spring. (underhillbonsai.com)
Blueberries2
They are closely related to North American wild and cultivated blueberries and huckleberries in the genus Vaccinium. (findmeacure.com)
True wild blueberries (section Cyanococcus of the genus Vaccinium ) occur naturally only in eastern and north-central North America. (zubiaga.org)
Genus1
The fairly frequent presence of hybrid individuals and populations can make identification frustrating, but I agree with Ward (1974) that the genus Vaccinium . (floraquest.org)
Pinus1
The canopy consists of longleaf pine on the ridges and slash pine (P. elliottii) and/or pond pine (Pinus serotina) in depressions. (namethatplant.net)
Vaccinium elliottii produces a particularly large yield of somewhat sour berries. (wikipedia.org)
As stated, V. elliottii produces flowers before it is in leaf as it is a fully deciduous tree in our range making it even more of interest for bonsai. (underhillbonsai.com)
Plants1
This genebank contains more than 1,750 Vaccinium accessions from 39 countries, with cultivars and selections stored as living plants, and wild relatives stored as seed. (usda.gov)
Wild1
Pictured above is a V. elliottii yamadori - wild collected stock for bonsai - that was collected in early 2019 during dormancy. (underhillbonsai.com)
Separate1
Vaccinium in our area is divided into 6 strongly differentiated sections, sometimes, as by Small, treated as separate genera. (floraquest.org)
Care1
So, this means that we must treat our V. elliottii bonsai with extra care before attempting anything overly stressful on the plant. (underhillbonsai.com)
