Vaccinium arboreum, Marsh. Farkleberry. Sparkle-Berry. Spreading shrub or small tree, 6-25 ft. high, with glabrous or somewhat pubescent branchlets: lvs. 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.—"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.
