The highbush. blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) is native in the. eastern third of the United States and southeastern. Canada. Florida is rich in other native Vaccinium. species. The woods and swamps of Florida are. populated with at least eight wild blueberry species.

The disease enters plants through wounds in the bark and causes rapid death of some or many stems, which drop their leaves and turn dark brown to black.
