Farkleberry
Vaccinium arboreum
Farkleberry is a tough, native evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub or small tree that thrives in acidic, well-drained soils across the southeastern United States. It produces small white bell-shaped flowers in spring followed by dark berries that persist into winter and are beloved by wildlife. Once established, it is quite drought-tolerant and requires minimal care, making it an excellent low-maintenance native landscape plant.
