as we see they have been declared as superfoods , so whats the
position on growing ?


Highly acid soil (pH around 4.0), never dry, at least two
cultivars since they are self-sterile.

And they seem to do better with some summer warmth; otherwise the
berries tend to tartness rather than sweetness.


Can't agree about needing two cultivars. Mine are the same, though I
don't know which one it is, and they produce fruit freely.
