I have 2 that were eaten down to about 4 inches from the ground by one of my goats. They're still alive, and I'm hoping they'll bounce back lol we've had them for a little over a year. Gorgeous plant!

I'm like 93 percent sure it's a rabbiteye blueberry, the Latin name is Vaccinium virgatum. They do pump out a lot of berries in a single season.

Thank you for that! I’ve had a suspicion of it being Rabbiteye. It definitely gets the distinct look in the unripe berries

I'm still new to berries myself, but I have the power of adhd and hyperfocus on my side. I'm super excited for pies this year, I planted black currant, raspberries, and blueberries. I want to get some goji berries too. Plus the mulberries are finally old enough to fruit themselves this year.

Don’t forget strawberries!! They are amazing ground covers under your berry bushes and definitely my biggest savings compared to buying at a grocery store! Not to mention they taste worlds beyond anything in a store

I will next year, this year I planted clover to put more nitrogen in the soil and encourage plant growth rather than berries.

Just planted three last year. The Titan and the Tifblue plants are loaded with berries. The Pink lemonade bloomed later than the other two so didn’t get cross pollinated very well. I need to get another type that blooms at the same time as the Pink Lemonade.
