(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.
Lol — I looked on-line to learn why I might have selected "little giant" (answer, because it has small fruits, somewhat like a wild blueberry) and discovered that there's a scam company of that name that advertises and sells that cultivar. I did not do business with a mail-order blueberry company as seen on TV. I ordered from Hartmann's, which isn't my favorite nursery, but was fine.
