Distribution

Dangleberry occurs in the eastern United States. The range of the
typical variety extends from New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire
south along the Atlantic Coastal Plain to South Carolina [15]. Although
dangleberry occurs primarily east of the Appalachian Mountains, it has
been reported in Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia [3,13]. Gaylussacia
frondosa var. tomentosa occurs from South Carolina to central Florida
and west to Alabama [14,26]. The range of G. f. var. nana extends from
southern Georgia south to central Florida, and west to Mississippi and
possibly Louisiana [15].
