Question
I found this shrub on the edge of a blueberry field in Lincoln County, Maine. Can you please help me identify it?
Answer
firstlight, the shrub you have photographed is Ilex verticillata (common winterberry), a member of the holly family. It is a common shrub of wetlands in the state of Maine that has red fruits persisting long into the winter. Best wishes.
