Tommoz says... There are three different vaccinium species that make up what are commonly considered blueberries. Vaccinium virgatum (rabbiteye) Vaccinium corybosum (northern highbush) Vaccinium darrowii (small evergreen) Hybrids made from crossing the last two are known as Southern highbush types. I'm not sure if you are really after the european blueberry (whortleberry/bilberry) as that is rare to find and is not ideal for Wollongong. | About the Author Tommoz Dural 9th June 2015 10:09pm #UserID: 7219 Posts: 340 View All Tommoz's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tommoz says... If you really want the European blueberry (bilberry) I believe Diggers in Melbourne sells and delivers them. If I were in your shoes I'd get the blueberries sold at your nursery. Two different varieties for cross-pollination, try to know if they have similar blooming times and are not high chill types. Avoid Northland, Denise, Blue Rose, Legacy, Tifblue and Powderblue. | About the Author Tommoz Dural 11th June 2015 11:36pm #UserID: 7219 Posts: 340 View All Tommoz's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tommoz says... Ok, hopefully someone who is a member will offer to buy it for you. Otherwise All Rare Herbs stock it although they are out at the moment. Seemed very expensive though. http://www.allrareherbs.com.au/products/Bilberry%2C-500ml-pot.html I also just remembered berry specialists cleangrow.com.au who, although just sell in bulk, might be able to organise something for you or tell you who in the retail market they've supplied. | About the Author Tommoz Dural 12th June 2015 6:53pm #UserID: 7219 Posts: 340 View All Tommoz's Edible Fruit Trees |
