Those who are talking of blueberry bushes in their back yards are most
likely talking highbush blueberries.  The blueberries in Maine are
lowbush blueberries.  They both produce blue berries, but the lowbush
variety producer smaller and more flavorful berries than do the highbush
varieties.  Lowbush plants grow about 6 inches.  Highbush varieties grow
6-15 feet.  Very different plants!

Aaron Morris - Thinking the blue berries in Maine stay mainly in the
barrens!
