Default Growing blueberries in UK


"OrangeMan" wrote in message
om...
as we see they have been declared as superfoods , so whats the position on

growing ?

Billberrys/whortleberries/etc. grow wild on the moors all over the UK AFAIK.

So the Blueberry should hopefully be O.K. as well.
However it does need acid soil.

I had some years ago which were not doing well (unsuitable soil) but they
still produced some berries until a garden wall blew down on them in a gale
:-(

May yet try again, this time in a large pot.
