Default Blueberry "Sharp Blue"

if the fruit was commercially grown then there is a very good chance that
the pollinator was of the same variety. Most fruit farmer want there crops
to grow in a similar way. it makes harvesting easier.

Is this cultivar worth growing here? Any tops?


If you grow them from seed, you won't be growing the same cultivar.
You'll be growing some random combination of the mother (the fruit) and

the
pollenizer (the father - pollen source). See
http://www.pollinator.com/appleseeds_faq.htm This is specific for
apples, but blueberries are similar. You have a tiny chance of obtaining

a
superior fruit, and a much larger chance of obtaining an inferior fruit.
