Observations on the Rhizomes and Roots of Vaccinium Membranaceum

摘要

Rhizome occurrence and root structure of Vaccinium membranaceum were investigated by hydraulic excavation. Numerous, robust rhizomes were present. Taproots were not observed. V. membranaceum rhizomes sprouted vigorously after a light surface fire killed the shoots. They may be important in future huckleberry field management.
