Blueberries are a traditional American fruit, used for pies, jellies and jams. There are two main types: Highbush, or cultivated blueberries and Lowbush, or wild types. Highbush berries grow to a height of 10ft. or more and, generally, have larger fruits . Lowbush berries grow to only about 3ft. and have smaller berries. There are varieties of both types that do well in warmer or cooler climates, thus there are Northern highbush, Southern highbush and Northern and Southern lowbush varieties. Plant at least one plant of two or more varieties to guarantee pollination.
All blueberries prefer a slightly acidic soil with optimum pH at 4.0-5.2. Soil should be slightly moist, so compact clay soils aren't blueberry-friendly. If your soil pH is higher, you can lower it by adding quantities of loam, compost (oak leaves are great), or sulfur. Porosity can be increased by adding peat. Plant the bushes rather shallowly (no deeper than 6"). Keep the weeds down, but make certain that you don't cultivate deeply around the roots - blueberries have shallow root systems that can be damaged by deep cultivation. Also, you should choose an area to plant that has good circulation and away from tree roots. Don't prune until you have about three year's growth, then remove weak shoots. As the bushes age, they will require heavier pruning, so don't be afraid to "lay into 'em".

Bluecrop - Midseason. This is the leading
commercial variety of blueberry grown in the US, producing high yields
