Weedwhacker said:Coppice, exactly right about the burning... it seems as though the best wild blueberry picking is found where the woods were burned off in the past. I don't quite grasp why that is, since the ash should be alkaline, rather than acid, wouldn't it?


Most native plant communities in North America are fire adapted. They need to be burned periodically to function well.
