VACCINIUM, Ericaceae. A genus of densely branched shrubs 
including several dwarfs. They grow well in acid soils in par¬ 
tial shade or in full sun. The delicate bell-shaped flowers are 
followed by juicy berries that are edible in many species. 
Many improved forms are now being grown commercially, 
especially of V. corymbosum. The evergreen V. Vitis-idaea 
makes a very dwarf creeping shrub with bluish bells and later 
dark red berries [5D, nursery].
