Wild Blueberry Help

17 years ago

Hi all, I just moved into a country location a week ago, and the place has quite a bit of fruit on it. A friend came over and as we were walking through the forest (quite wet) he was pointing out wild blueberry bushes. Here is my problem; if they are in fact blueberry, now would be the time for me to transplant them into a central location, But I want to be sure that they are in fact wild blueberries before I do all that work. I'm not very good at dormant tree identification.

There are two trees that look very similar, but are most definitely different. I'm not sure which are blueberry, or if they both are, or if neither are.

The first type is on average 4' tall, with twisted bark on the bigger ones, and the lots of small branching is somewhat reddish. These are growing in clusters of 1-3 trees.

The other one is on average about 6' tall, has the same type of branching as the first, does not have the twisted bark, and the entire tree is uniform in bark color (no reddish branching). This second type also is growing in large clusters (6-7 trees).

Unfortunately my camera is at the bottom of a box somewhere (we still havent unpacked everything)

Thanks for any help you can give
