Dunno why I think it’s an actual huckleberry, Edible Landscaping says same thing you do but I recall them having a slightly different description last year. Oh well, getting old. If they’re blueberries I’m sorry I planted them next each other instead of spaced out between blueberries. And they haven’t grown as vigorously as most of the others. Guess that’s huckleberry genetics or again worse dirt/ planting. They didn’t drown like a neighbor plant did in my clay soil though.

Here are some berries with the “pruning” the frost did on the flowers. This is an Ochlockonee Rabbiteye.
Here is another plant higher up on my hill that didn’t take any frost damage.
This is a delight rabbiteye if I remember correctly.
This is the first year I’ve had frost damage on any blueberries. I’ve been growing them for 6 years now.
Location seemed to be more a factor than cultivator with my frost damage.

Nice looking bushes. Some of my blueberries got more frost damage than the others. I haven’t grown your 2 varieties and was wondering if they meet your quality expectations.
I really like the flavor of Ochlockonee and its my last variety to get ripe. Taste similar to climax to me.
Delight is reminds me of premier but just a later ripening time.
The only types of rabbiteye I’ve tried and don’t care for are titan and Columbus.
Titan was just bland.
Columbus has been dry and mealie for me.
I’m still giving Columbus another year or two to improve.

If left on the bush too long; yes Titan can be boring in taste.

Krewer is similar in size and productivity for me to Titan but far better flavor.

Wild Elliott’s blueberry in full swing. These are substantially different from the small black ones I got from Woodlanders. I need to transplant some stickers from these.

Farkleberry nearby. Nothing edible, and actually a fair number of dried woody berries are still clinging to the branches and littering the ground, but a twenty foot tall fragrant “blueberry” in full bloom is impressive on it’s own.

The Wild Elliot looks like a keeper. It would probably do even better in your backyard. You might find some sprouts to mark and move this winter.
