goranpaa Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 As said. If we are talking about the Nordic flora ? I would like to see Heather included. They grow in dry and sunny spots.Also, the Blueberry are much smaller in Scandinavia than in the USA. Here, they are about 15 Centimeter high and grow in clusters. The berries themselves are about the size of an ordinary pea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lula77 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 And the Scandinavian blue berry's flesh are red, than the American blue berry that has white flesh...Your tongue and lips turns red when eating it, so you look like a vampire a bit...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you're referring to the commercial high bush type often sold at grocery stores in the US because of its high production of berries to feed the ~600-700 million or so customers they support in North and South America. They can be big fat berries or smaller with or without thin skins, and they generally come from growers in four countries: the USA, Canada (Quebec seems to produce a lot), Peru, and Mexico, depending on the time of the year. But in the wild it's a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lula77 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Yes the commercial blue berry bush that was what i was referring to. I used to have a blueberry bush in my back yard. Threw a little horse poo on it in the spring and with that the bush gave me a plentiful blue berry harvest. The berries taste much the same like the wild once, and the good thing about them you do not get red tongue or messy when eating them. I would have been dumbfounded if the small wild blue berry bushes would not exist in America, specially in North America. So I did expect blue berries to exist in America too and not just in North Europe and Scandinavia. :smile: Edited December 28, 2021 by Lula77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
