that Heidelbeer or Vaccinum Myrtillus a perennial heather plant is, that mainly grows in open deciduous and coniferous forests in Germany and the Ukraine?

Since only the bare branches are used, pruning should be delayed until late autumn, so that all the leaves have fallen from the branches.

The pruned Heidelbeer is bundled in large bunches from the road in the forest and collected by the supplier. These bundles are then checked in the processing shed and sorted according to length and quality.
