     @eal I grow several varieties of blueberries (not sure they are all american) - a few of the bushes I have look nearly identical to what you've posted, but they are a commercial variety.

     @thatguyoverthere do you actually grow bilberries (and not the american blueberry)? In my mental taxonomy they're a forest-only plant

     @eal I don't on hand but I'll try and snap one later today. I started with 5 varieties (multiples of each) but I had a few plants die in the first couple years and bought a few more. I don't know the species of most of them, but I have 4 plants that are very short and 4 that seem capable of getting quite large. I just trimmed 2 that were over a meter tall to try and get them to branch out a bit more, but I have one next to some swiss chard and I think the chard might be taller lol

     @thatguyoverthere cool, do you have a photo? bilberry (or "european blueberry") doesn't really become a big bush, it's more like a twig or a shrub

     @Flick @thatguyoverthere forests like this are usually chock full of the plant (this pic might have more lingonberry though)

     @eal @thatguyoverthere Oh, weird: they grow wild around me (although locally we call them winberries, they’re basically the same) on the open moors. I can’t picture them in woodland.

     @eal @thatguyoverthere Oh, ok, fairly open forests, then. Still, this is also almost all bilberry with a bit of grass mixed in. I guess they like the acid soil, peat up here and podzol from the conifers where you are.

     @starsstorm @eal @thatguyoverthere So’s eal’s forest!

     (I’m amazed you’re not bored of those kinds of pictures from me, must be time zones meaning you don’t usually see them!)

     @starsstorm @Flick @eal @thatguyoverthere You cannot imagine how shocking I find photos of housing developments on TV. I grew up in a working-class suburb but the developer left trees and the houses were modest. Now the houses are huge and ugly and seem to go on forever.

     @susansiens @eal @Flick @starsstorm A lot of houses being built today are on old farmland that didn't have a ton of trees on them to begin with (at least around me). Also they tend to enact HOA policies to make sure the ugly houses stay that way.

     @Flick @eal @thatguyoverthere I’ll never be bored of them. I live in suburbia and it’s just never ending houses here. And if it isn’t houses, it’s corn. Just corn.
