Expert Response

Hi Wil,

Thank you for reaching out to the Cooperative Extension’s Ask Extension service.

Highbush blueberries are the most often recommended type, and there are many varieties differing in taste, size color, etc. For larger berries and yields, consider planting more than one variety. I’ve included links to several resources to help you with the selection process.

If you have any other questions, please call our Garden Line at<personal data hidden>.
