Thanks, they have a super selection, but the shipping to NC may be

Does anyone know of a reliable source for blueberry plants. I'm looking

northern highbush and need 1000-1500. I'm in the process of layout & not

Thanks for any help,

I cannot vouch for them, but try here. If they do not have the
varieties you seek, perhaps they can help.

Do you have a peat bog or swamp to plant them in? What
soil pH do highbush blues need?

NC seems awfully far south to grow good blueberries...


What??

Jan in Alaska
surrounded by swamps & peat bogs


Nah, we are surrounded by blueberry farms locally, and across the state,
there are several towns that host annual blueberry festivals.

I just read somewhere that blueberries thrive in the Ozarks.
Is that NC? I've only been on the other side of the Mississippi
River once and that was to visit cousins in CT. (New England is
sure pretty!)

My ignorance about back east is appalling...
