Depending on where you are in the world, the growth on the plant may be the
manifestation of blueberry-fir rust -a fungal disease that alternates
between blueberries and true firs in the genus Abies.

I get one or two of these growths on my blueberry bushes each year. At
first I thought it was some sort of cocoon, but I cut one open and didn't
see what appeared to be an insect. They usually grow at a joint between
branches and, if left alone, eventually become brown and woody. I have some
pictures of a new one I just picked off at
