http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueberry should be merged with this article. The article is not correct. Blueberry is the name usually used in Europe when used in English and Bilberry is a name that is used in the USA. It is not used in Europe very much, unless referring to the fruit from the USA to differentiate it from the European fruit. - This is the usage I have seen - the blueberry article supports this with Scots (a dialect of English in the UK) using the term according to the article. Neither article explains adequately that a Latin binomial is not the same as different varieties of an interbreeding species - so that 2 different common names may give different information about berries that is missing from a Latin species name description. This could be added to the article.

There is already a page on bilberries. Someone who knows their way around Wikipedia should propose a merger.

i was long perplexed by the commercial spread of blue berries that have a colorless flesh under the blue skin in yoghurt-like products. it is a great relief to find an article that clears up the different and sometimes confusing common names for two related but not similar species. i would go as far as say this article is already better than start-level on the quality scale. while the article could be more extensive on the botannical and cultivation topics, it is clear and well worded. cheers! 89.134.199.32 ( talk) 14:48, 13 July 2019 (UTC).
I just googled blue berries because i heard about improving brain function. And there are some studies about the topic, if there is someone interested there are probably way more studies regarding this.
The findings of this preliminary study suggest that moderate-term blueberry supplementation can confer neurocognitive benefit and establish a basis for more comprehensive human trials to study preventive potential and neuronal mechanisms.
Greater intakes of blueberries and strawberries were associated with slower rates of cognitive decline.

Hello @
Zefr: Most of
this is not RS however I think the Barley Hall ref is. It's a collaboration between
York Archaeological Trust,
Arts Council England and
VisitEngland. The link is dead so we will need https://web.archive.org/web/20120421235953/http://www.barleyhall.org.uk/MakeTraditionalDyes.asp
an archive.

Hello @ Zefr: What makes you think Bouzat is incorrect? Invasive Spices ( talk) 5 October 2022 (UTC)
I don't think the picture in this article, /info/en/?search=File:Yaban_mersini.jpg , is Vaccinium myrtillus. I'm not an expert but it seems to the shape of the flower end in the fruit is different, and it looks like it's growing on a taller bush, not a shrub. Also, the leaves look larger and greener. Can a botanist weigh in? 87.99.27.160 ( talk) 01:24, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
