Anyone have success growing blueberries? I must be doing something
wrong. Planted a bush 7 years ago "Bluecrop" and after 7 years I have a
very healthy 10 feet tall bushy tree that has never had a single fruit
on it! Every spring it has lots of catkins, but that's all. Any
suggestions on what is wrong or should I just take the chainsaw to it
and convert it into firewood?
Are you sure it's not a Willow of some sort?
Positive. The leaves and catkins are identical to those that show up on
a google image search for "blueberry catkins".

But the images shown on that search are of pussy willow female catkins.
Blueberries are in the same family as bilberries and have small bell shaped flowers - look at the V corymbosum link just below the line of images in the search you posted.
