Oh, sure. One Northland bush got killed by a co-op of chipmunks last year, so I got four more - one Powderblue, three Brightwell. All varieties grow very well in this climate. The other three Northlands I planted are going gangbusters, and we’ve been picking and eating them since ‘19. The ones I got last month were only in one gallon pots but had fruit already. They only need to be about 2-3 years old before they get big enough to bloom and fruit. They also make great patio container specimens if you don’t have a lot of room and/or good soil. These varieties will each get about 5’x5’x4’ when mature, so in a few years, I should have a great hedgerow running the length of that wall, four in front, three spaced evenly behind. Southern-tier blueberries and muscadine grapes are two very easy fruits to grow and harvest, and you can find them seasonally in every mom and pop grocery store in the region. There are plenty of blueberries that’ll grow in mid-Atlantic climates, as well. Give them a big pot, good soil, keep them watered, fertilizer a couple times a year, and you’re golden. We have a couple of hanging strawberry pots, too, and she brought me in a couple the other day. Delicious. They’re real buggers to keep because the birds love them. Between all that and the fruit trees, it’s like a roadside produce stand around here now.
