Sheep Sorrel
Sheep sorrel is found in burnt lands, barrens and fields with low fertility. It grows in patches and spreads quickly when they is little to no competition from other plants. Sheep sorrel competes with low blueberries as the optimal growing conditions are similar. It reproduces by seed and vegetative root. In most cases it does not impact harvest efficiency as its shallow roots are easily pulled although thick stands can clog the heads of mechanical harvesters. It does serve as a host for botrytis blight.
