Vaccinium arboreum
Sparkleberry (Vaccinium arboreum) is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to the southeastern United States. Growing 10-20 feet tall, it features glossy, dark green leaves that turn vibrant shades of red and orange in the fall. In spring, the Sparkleberry produces small, white or pinkish bell-shaped flowers that attract pollinators like bees. These flowers give way to dark purple to black berries in the late summer, which are enjoyed by birds and wildlife. Known for its adaptability to a variety of soil types, including acidic and moist conditions, Sparkleberry is commonly used in landscaping for its ornamental appeal, wildlife benefits, and fall color.
