I know that blueberries grow in North Florida.
They must have acid, well drained soil. You just need to get a variety that is suitable for your area.

Hopefully, they sold me a variety that is suitable for this area. One would think they'd have done a little research. They'll be going in a bed being built especially for them and two fall gold raspberry bushes, so I can tailor the soil as needed.

“This is cool. I’m planting a pair of blueberry bushes this weekend that I picked up at Home Depot. Any special tips I need to know?”
They like acidic soil. Once in a while mix vinegar and water 3-1 and give to them. I have 5 small bushes now and am hoping for a bumper crop this year. I love blueberries.

Vinegar? That's a unique way of adding acid to the soil, but that should work. I'm trying to get our yard to produce several types of fruit. Opposite the berry bed, we're replanting a new strawberry bed with three varieties - Sequoia, Ozark, and Tristar. We've had a lot of luck with the muscadines we planted a few years back; in fact, they've jumped from the trellis to the roof of the house a couple of times, and we've needed to prune them back. The wife's become a wizard at making muscadine preserves, and this year I think I may tackle making muscadine wine. Back in '00, I'd also put in a 5' Granny Smith sapling in the front yard; about four years ago, it produced it's first apples. Now it's 15' tall, and has it's first full riot of flowers. A good sign as well was all of the bumblebees floating from flower to flower yesterday - I'm anticipating at least one full bushel from it this year.

I remember reading that something in blueberries is a dopamine precurser.

I remember reading that something in blueberries is a dopamine precurser.Enter (blueberry or blueberries) and dopamine into the query box at PubMed.
