Narrative
Large stands of V deliciosum can be found in this higher elevation lake, meadow, swamp ecosystem. While V deliciosum was often found in a band 1-5 m above where standing water might sit in the spring, it was also found on hillsides and along streams. Often stands as large as 1 ha were found. The fruit were large (~1.9 g), very blue, and very aromatic. Plants were vigorous (to 1 m) and often very dense. The plants were extremely productive and picking was easy. Appeared to be a fairly constantly moist, not wet, environment.
