Blueberries in So. Calif coastal
My nursery (Armstrong) advertises 2 blueberry varieties that (I
assume) can be grown in this mild Mediterranean climate: Sunshine
and Bountiful Blue. $29.99 for 2 gal. Some advertised to bear next
summer.
I am a card-carrying blueberry freak, so my interest was piqued.
However, it's asking a lot to wait 'n' years for berries that might
not be to my taste.
It has taken decades for mild-weather varieties to emerge upon the
scene. What's available at Trader Joe and Co-Op is generally from
Oregon or Vancouver -- neither of which is exactly mild weather.
So, throwing myself on the mercy of this NG: Does anyone have a clue
how these two varieties taste?
TIA
