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?


even if you have acid soil (possible the UK is just as wet as out
atlantic coast), my guess is that it is too warm in England for Maine
blueberries. You are what we call zone 8, right? The coldest night of
the year goes to -6C (21F), no colder.


Yes, that's right. And this may explain why there are no UK Maine
blueberry suppliers.
