Some blueberry variety talk mainly Sweetcrisp and Springhigh my favorites

Hi Ryan,
I bought a used Mist-a-Matic,which does fairly well.
Another way,is my copy of this guy’s setup.I used a clear plastic tub,which had a solid colored top.That was discarded and a wood frame,with greenhouse plastic scrap,was stapled to it.The water container is a kitty litter box.The main container can be deeper and that might be better.Holes were drilled in the bottom.
Here’s a thread and the video.

Some blueberry variety talk mainly Sweetcrisp and Springhigh my favorites

I first tried using small pots and Summer (softwood) cuttings,with a plastic bag covering and had very limited positive results.The trouble is,keeping the leaves moist until roots form.This method probably works better with Winter (hardwood) pieces,as there are no leaves,but when growth does come,that needs some moisture for awhile. Then,a couple years ago,I saw this video and that helped a lot.I tried to put a link here, but somehow, it didn’t play.It is on Youtube and entitled,Propagation of …

@Drew51 was giving me some advice on the best berry varieties to try and pointed me to this thread.

I’ve been trying to find places in CA or places that ship to CA for this variety and for SpringHigh and so far am finding nothing that seems real/reasonable.

If anyone has any advice on where to get these in CA, I’d really appreciate it.

The varieties seem amazing @fruitnut !!

This is what I have right now:

@SoCalBackyard

Here are the ones I put in last year when we moved into this house and I built out a little raised planter (connected to the ground) for blueberries and strawberries:
Emerald
Sunshine Blue
Jewel
Pink Lemonade.
Old one in a pot: Bountiful Blue. Produces very well now.
Edit: Figured out the last one - it was Biloxi.

These are not yet planted:
Reveille
Misty
Sharp Blue

Even though I just put them in last year, I got one year+ old plants and so they produced quite a bit last year already. This year I’m seeing about double the production (if the flowers and hanging green berries are anything to go by).
