Vaccinium myrtillus, commonly known as bilberry, is a subshrub in the family Ericaceae. It is native to temperate regions of Europe and Asia. The plant produces small, dark blue berries that are similar to blueberries. It typically grows in acidic, nutrient-poor soils and is found in heathlands, forests, and moorlands. The plant undergoes a dormancy period during the winter months.

Instructions d'entretien
Bilberries prefer indirect bright light and moderate temperatures. They thrive in high humidity and require soil that is kept evenly moist. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods. The plant benefits from a cool environment and should be protected from extreme heat.
Récolte
Vaccinium myrtillus, commonly known as bilberry, is typically harvested in late summer to early autumn when the berries are fully ripe and have a deep blue-black color. Harvesting is usually done by hand to avoid damaging the delicate berries. It is important to pick the berries carefully to ensure they are not overripe or underripe. The plant prefers temperate climates and thrives in well-drained, acidic soils. After harvesting, the berries should be stored in a cool, dry place and can be consumed fresh or processed into jams, jellies, and other products.
Sol
Bilberries grow best in acidic, well-draining loam soil. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. Adding organic matter such as peat can help maintain the soil's acidity and moisture levels.
Engrais
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant in early spring and again in mid-summer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive vegetative growth at the expense of fruit production.
Rempotage
Repot bilberries every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and use acidic, well-draining soil. Repot in early spring before new growth begins.
Propagation
Bilberries can be propagated by seed, cuttings, or division. The best time to propagate is in early spring. For cuttings, take semi-hardwood cuttings and root them in a moist, well-draining medium. Seeds should be sown in acidic soil and kept moist until germination.
Taille
Prune bilberries in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased branches. Thin out the plant to improve air circulation and light penetration. Regular pruning helps maintain the plant's shape and encourages healthy growth.
Toxicité
Bilberries are not toxic to pets or humans. The berries are edible and are often used in culinary applications. However, consuming large quantities of the leaves may cause mild digestive upset.
Supplémentaire
Bilberries are known for their high antioxidant content and are often used in traditional medicine. They are also a favorite food of wildlife, including birds and mammals. To protect the berries from being eaten by animals, consider using netting or other protective measures.
