Re: [nafex] If you had one blueberry bush... (Ginda Fisher)

Well, despite those comments, I'm going to ask again (more specifically)

Anyone have experience with either Bluecrop or Reka? Based on availability from a good local nursery and on-line descriptions, those sound promising. I'm curious about differences in size, growth habit, productivity, and flavor of berries.

Also, in happy news, I found some blueberries I planted a few years ago. They were very slow to establish and I'd forgotten about them. (They are on the edge of the property, and behind some scruffy bushes, so I don't usually see them.) Little Giant and tag-lost. :) They are now nice-looking mature plants, covered with blossoms. I plan to net them after the blossoms drop. I assume the critters will find a way to eat the berries anyway, but who knows, maybe I will actually harvest some blueberries this year.
