Lowbush Blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium)

Hillside Blueberries (Vaccinium pallidum)

Burning Bush, Euonymus alatus. Once a bunch of this moves in and it starts getting well-established, the blueberries and huckleberries die off

Likely another V. pallidum, possibly a Gaylucacia, with ferns, over partridgeberries

When you're ready to tell me which one is a blueberry or huckleberry, and which one is burning bush, you're ready to catch an infestation early. If not, make sure the Euonymus alatus has visible wings before declaring it invasive and pulling.
