I currently grow rabbiteye blueberries, but I want to lengthen my season. I've been thinking about growing some southern highbush so I can get some May/June berries, but I'm not sure how they do here. I live in zone 8a as of now, but that could change shortly, and I may move as far north as 7a within a few months. Would southern highbush still work that far north, or should I consider going for northern highbush and extending my season the other direction (into August/September). I feel like zones 7/8 are right on the border of where you can grow northern or southern highbush, so I don't know if they are worth my effort. My local Lowes/Home Depot do sell southern highbush, though they have more rabbiteyes than anything.
Thoughts? If you think I should sway one direction or the other (southern vs northern highbush), are there any varieties that you think are better tasting or better adapted than the rest?
Thanks,
Brett
