lowbush
Creeping plant variety
Lowbush describes plants that grow as low shrubs rather than tall ones, appearing almost exclusively in the compound lowbush blueberry—a wild variety native to northeastern North America that hugs the ground and produces small, intensely flavored berries.
The term distinguishes these from cultivated highbush blueberries found in most grocery stores.
