− | '''''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]].
| + | {{inc| |
| + | Farkleberry. Sparkle-Berry. Spreading shrub or small tree, 6-25 ft. high, with glabrous or somewhat pubescent branchlets: Ivs. 1-2 in. long, evergreen in the S., somewhat coriaceous, smooth and shining above, paler and sometimes pubescent beneath, obovate to oval, acute or obtuse, entire or obscurely denticulate: fls. profuse, axillary, and leafy-racemose, pendulous, articulated with the slender pedicel; corolla open-campanulate, 5-lobed, white; stamens included: berry small, globose, black, rather astringent, inedible. Sandy soil along river banks, Fla. and Texas to N. C. and Ill. L.B.C. 19:1885. B.M. 1607 (as V. diffusum). B.B. 2:580.—"It forms an irregular shrub too diffuse and straggling to be of use except in masses, for which purpose it is useful at the South."}} |

− | 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.
