There are a few wild blueberry plants growing in a section of my lawn. I am wondering how they got there.
I have lived here for 20 years and would have noticed them if they were here all along. As I understand it, blueberries spread mainly by rhizomes. This area is isolated by a paved driveway and a concrete walk. There are a lot of wild blueberries in my region, but none around my property.
Since the berries are at the base of a tree, a friend suggested that perhaps a bird ate some berries and later perched on this tree and "did his business", leaving some berry seeds on the ground by the tree..
Is it possible that blueberry seeds (or any seeds for that matter) could pass through a digestive system and still germinate?
