As the title of this article suggests, the cultivated highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) is a new fruit, specially when considered in terms of apples, grapes, strawberries and other fruits. It is true that blueberries have been harvested from the wild for many years but it wasn't until 1906, when Fredrick V. Coville, Principal Botanist, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, began experimenting with this fruit, that thoughts of cultivated blueberries began to crystalize.
