The patriot type grows pretty well. I have a few hundred blueberry plants and the patriot type is my favorite.

Thanks for the info. What is the best way to get them started. These are new to me. I have blackberries and raspberries.

Now is the time to get your soil ready for spring. blueberries need very acid soil from 5 to 6 ph. start them in 30 gallon grow bags. you can buy the soil now at home depot. use sphagnum moss and compost manure.
