'''''Vaccinium arboreum''''' ('''Sparkleberry''' or '''Farkleberry''') is a species of ''[[Vaccinium]]'' native to the southeastern [[United States]], from southern [[Virginia]] west to southeastern [[Missouri]], and south to [[Florida]] and eastern [[Texas]].

It is a [[shrub]] (rarely a small [[tree]]) growing to 3-5 m (rarely 9 m) tall. The [[leaf|leaves]] are [[evergreen]] in the south of the range, but [[deciduous]] further north where winters are colder; they are oval-elliptic with an acute apex, 3-7 cm long and 2-4 cm broad, with a smooth or very finely toothed margin. The [[flower]]s are white, bell-shaped, 3-4 mm diameter, with a five-lobed corolla, produced in [[raceme]]s up to 5 cm long. The [[fruit]] is a round dry berry about 6 mm diameter, green at first, black when ripe, edible but bitter and tough.
