@ Dmaxx69
I will check the nursery in HPP.
I don't go into the Macuu market since they upped the parking charge again.
The produce stalls reduced in numbers, so been going to the Kea'au market for produce.
Just saw that the Pahoa market is supposed to be reopening.
I'll check it out Sunday or whenever.
I grew up in Washington and then lived in Alaska for 35 years.
I too know what a real blueberry is, based on wild berries.
What I also miss are what we called huckelberries, the orange blueberry types from the West side of the mountains.
But, I'll probably never see one them again.
Its very heartening to get a firsthand report on their being grown in the area.
You are in a warmer, drier location at a lower elevation.
If blueberries can do well there, I can get them to well here.
@ zands,
I wouldn't waste the effort or space to grow grapes.
I very rarely buy them from a grocery even though they're there all the time.
I buy more cups of BBs even though they cost a lot more.
I enjoy picking BBs, never get much mess from them, probably due to a lifetime of practice.
The highbush cultivars, if cultivated well. should have clumps in fairly large numbers making picking much easier, but picking is part of the fun.
Probably more go into my mouth than the bucket.
