Vaccinium boreale, common name northern blueberry, sweet hurts or (in French) bleuet boréal, is a plant species native to the northeastern United States and eastern Canada.[1] It has been reported from Québec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York State. It grows in tundra (arctic or alpine), rocky uplands and in open conifer forests at elevations up to 2,000 metres (6,600 ft).[2][3][4]

Vaccinium boreale is a small shrub up to 9 centimetres (3+1⁄2 in) tall - it is a lowbush blueberry[5] - forming dense colonies of many individuals. Twigs are green, angled, with lines of hairs. Leaves are deciduous, narrowly elliptic, up to 21 millimetres (13⁄16 in) long, with teeth along the margins. Flowers are white, up to 4 millimetres (5⁄32 in) long. Berries are blue, up to 5 millimetres (13⁄64 in) across.[6][7][8]
