blackberries i love but won't likely ever grow them.
blueberries are much further up my list of someday plants.

You wouldn't happen to know anyone who grows bilberries for sale?


no, i've never looked for them, but a quick
search did find suppliers so you should be
able to find someone...

I couldn't find any. Just seed supplier. What search did you use?

in looking at the places that had them i noticed that they
all said what i suspected, these are wet/moisture loving
plants that grow naturally near bogs and probably also need
sandy acidic soil. i kinda doubt that you'll have very
good luck growing them in an arid climate with alkaline
soil.
