Just planted 2 blueberry plants today - Emerald & Jewel varieties. They are small now, but hopefully next year will produce an edible crop. Supposed to grow 4-5 feet high and also wide. You need 2 different varieties for cross-pollination (more fruit). Checked out the web site from the U of Florida as advised by the local extension agents.
I got them at Walmart for 7.50 each. Supposed to fruit in April to mid-May, so perfect for snowbirds who stay a little late. At least I hope so. They are in the best watered spot in my landscape.
