Usually in dry sandy forests dominated by various oak or hickory species, rarely in moister areas.
The inflorescence is a bit more openly racemose than the dense clusters of our other lowbush blueberries. Very rarely the leaves may be narrower than the usual broadly elliptic to ovate shape, and such plants may be difficult to distinguish from V. angustifolium, if the leaf margins are serrulate, or from small-leaved specimens of V. corymbosum, if the stature is not known or is unusually tall.
