Default Blueberry "Goldtraube"

The message
from "Mel" contains these words:
"Donna UK" wrote
I brought a blueberry (Goldtraube) plant from Wilkinson last week
and have
just looked it up online to find that one place says it is self fertile
and a few others say it is not self fertile. Does anyone have or
ever had
one of these bushes and did it give a crop of do I need to local another
one of these bushes?


I have a Goldtraube, but I also have a Bluecrop and a couple of other
varieties. I grow them in pots of ericaceous soil. This website is very
scientific, but it might help - I think it basically says that
Goldtraube is
self-fertile, but not very, and is best grown with another variety:

Blubeberries are really easy to grow, so it's probably worthwhile getting
another variety.


But beware of vine weevil.
