Here in south-eastern Canada the lowbush blueberry refers to the species vaccinium angustifolium. It is a native ant species. If someone is talking about blueberries here it is vaccinium angustifolium. Many are grown in my region for many years. Tobacco was also grown here but when the farmers got out of tobacco blueberries were the crop they chose. Blueberries grow in poor sandy soil similar to what tobacco plants liked so the switch was easym So many blueberries are grown here the US grower Wyman opened a plant. A few years go another US grower started a highbush farm. I dont think the highbush blueberries are as good as the lowbush. I'm not sure why but I recall hearing a reason. There's also a food science department at the local university (UPEI) here that studies blueberries.
