Help identify??

I found a wild berry on my property and I would like some help identifying it. It has red and green leaves, white flowers, and hairy blue berries. From the Internet, it looks like hairy blueberries but I'm a bit south from where they are supposed to grow and there isn't much info on them online...

Can you give your location?

Could it be some kind of huckleberry? http://www.ct-botanical-society.org/Plants/view/227

I'm in Panama City, fl. It could be but I have no idea lol

Looks like there are a few huckleberries native to Florida: http://www.wildfloridian.com/EdiblePlants.html

I can't seem to find anything that says there is a variety of huckleberries that have hairy berries. All the pictures look like they are smooth :/

Yeah, I couldn't find anything either, just the form of the leaves and berries seemed so similar to huckleberries. I hope someone else from your region will chime in!

Actually there are some varieties of blueberries (or rather Vaccinium spp.) which do have hairy berries -- including the hairy highbush blueberry (Vaccinium fuscatum). It even grows in Florida. Check out this USDA plant map ... http://plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=vafu It may not be the exact species, but I am betting it's in the same family, at least.
