Blueberry

Blueberries are fantastic shrubs to grow.  Not only do blueberry bushes produce fruits that are delicious and high in antioxidants, but they are also very nice as ornamental plants. Blueberries have nice fall color, and there are a few varieties that are evergreen as well.  On top of this, blueberries are  happiest in the acid soils of the Pacific Northwest, which makes them even more of a must have for any Northwest garden.      In addition to having acid soil, to properly grow blueberries you need to plant at least two varieties for pollination.  For a long harvest plant early, mid and late season varieties.       (We're having a warm January in Portland - above is a photo taken today of a Legacy variety of blueberry, planted with daffodils that are already blooming!)
