On a hike we found dozens of ripe blueberry bushes at the trailhead and along a fire road to the trail propper, so were expecting lots more for the rest of the hike. But the berries stopped when the trail started. Turns out they love the roadside disturbed ground but don't do so well among established plants. That's admirably anti-fragile, but comes with the downside of being fragile to peaceful domesticity. But it makes for a good pioneer or colonist.
