Does anyone here know if it's possible to grow the small Maine
blueberries in the UK? Can anyone tell me the variety name/s?

The wild Maine blueberry is Vaccinium angustifolium. It is available from
select growers here in the US, but requires a more specifc cultural
condition than do the more commonly grown Vaccinium corymbosum cultivars and
hybrids. Have no idea how widespread its availability may be in the UK, but
you could look for a midsized highbush 'Northblue' which produces small
berries with similar appearance and taste to "wild" blueberries.
