The heath family is principally composed of evergreen shrubs native
to Europe. Heaths thrive on acid soil and, thus are often found on moors,
swamps and mountain-sides. Members of the Ericaceae family include
the fruit-bearing blueberry, cranberry and huckleberry as well as the
rhododendron, azalea, trailing arbutusis and true heaths (genus Erica ).
