I haven't planted any blueberries yet, and might not depending on when the harvest season is (because for now we will be snowbirds) but I talked to a guy at the nursery on 466a just east of Colony Plaza - he said 2 varieties would increase the yield/production. At the time (Mid-June) they only had 1 variety in stock. Probably they will need plastic netting when the fruit forms to keep the birds from eating all of it. I also need to see how much sun the corner gets that I am considering. Might not get enough.
