Southern Highbush Blueberry

  • Thanks to the modern Southern Highbush Blueberry hybrids, it is not only possible but easy to grow delicious blueberries in coastal Southern California, as long as you choose low-chill varieties such as \'Sunshine Blue\' (the best), \'Misty\', \'Sharpblue\', and \'O\'Neal\', and plant two or more varieties for the best pollination. Although you can grow blueberries in the ground, for the best results in the home garden, many experts recommend growing blueberries in large containers or raised beds, where proper soil mix and acidity can be controlled. The right varieties and the right soil mix and acidity are the keys to success in coastal Southern California, where blueberry plants can often be evergreen and are quite ornamental as well.
