Blueberries are easy to grow deciduous fruit bearing shrubs that grow best in full sun, with well drained, sandy, organically rich acid soil, (ph 4.5-5.2). Blueberries are extremely hardy and can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 4-9 depending on the variety. To extend your blueberry season and berry varieties, select varieties that produce fruit at different times. A good rule of thumb when figuring out how many blueberry plants you will need is to allow at least two plants per person.
