Tommoz starts with ... Can someone recommend a good Southern Highbush to complement my O'Neal, Legacy and Blueberry Burst? Location gets afternoon shade and 500 chill hours. Really want Sweetcrisp/South Moon/Springwide but that seems years away. I guess it is a choice between Misty, Sharpblue, Gulf Coast and Reveille(?). For those looking for info on cultivars I have come across quite a good resource with all the chill hours: http://www.smallfruits.org/Blueberries/production/06bbcvproc_Nov0206.pdf | About the Author Tommoz Dural 6th November 2013 2:22pm #UserID: 7219 Posts: 340 View All Tommoz's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tommoz says... I am jealous of the kiwis, they seem to have a much wider range of blueberries than us. http://www.tharfield.co.nz/varieties.php?fruitid=23 | About the Author Tommoz Dural 7th November 2013 9:54pm #UserID: 7219 Posts: 340 View All Tommoz's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tommoz says... I will get a Sharpblue and Misty when they become available, local nurseries waiting on more stock to arrive. Sweetcrisp is a legendary variety in America known for having a very firm almost crunchy texture and for being very sweet. South Moon, Sante Fe, Springwide and Springhigh are all southern highbushes out of Florida that rate really high. I am currently trying to track these down as I know which Australian company has the licence. | About the Author Tommoz Dural 9th November 2013 10:29am #UserID: 7219 Posts: 340 View All Tommoz's Edible Fruit Trees |

Edward says... I have several blueberry varieties in Sydney for comparison. While Sharpblue has a good taste, it tends to produce smaller and fewer berries in time and so is rather disappointing. Gulfcoast on the other hand is consistently producing a very good crop of fairly large berries, and they taste quite good PROVIDED one is patient and waits till they are fully ripe - i.e. black and swollen large. Otherwise, they won't be sweet enough. | About the Author Edward3 Carlingford 28th November 2013 11:05pm #UserID: 1655 Posts: 172 View All Edward3's Edible Fruit Trees |
Tommoz says... Thanks for commenting Edward. I'd be interested to know what rabbiteyes you have too. Climax, Premier, Maru? I read that Powderblue and Tifblue require about 600 chill hours which I don't get. Then again they apparently fruit well in Northern NSW so who knows. Which ones have the 'gritty' texture and does it bother you? | About the Author Tommoz Dural 30th November 2013 2:12pm #UserID: 7219 Posts: 340 View All Tommoz's Edible Fruit Trees |
