It's a great video, but the audio is so soft that I can barely hear it. (Also in 7a Virginia Piedmont area right on the Carolina border). I'm glad you mentioned Legacy. I bought it thinking it was a northern highbush (label said so), then learned it was a hybrid southern highbush. I don't know what to pollinate it with. Mom and I together have purchased Duke, Blue Ridge, Brigitta, Legacy, Powderblue, Ochlokonee, and Brightwell. My husband is a bit alarmed at how many we have bought and how many holes he has to dug and how much it all costs. LOL. Will any of these crosspollinate Legacy?

Please answer this question. Is it true that southern highbush and rabbiteye varieties cannot cross pollinate to produce a bigger harvest? If so, why is that?

You should select another rabbiteye type to ensure cross pollination on rabbiteye blueberries. Rabbiteyes will bloom later than most southern highbush types which is the main reason for this recommendation, and the bloom times must overlap for cross pollination to occur. It is possible for southern highbush to pollinate rabbiteye, but better fruit set and size occurs when the same type is used.

Hi: First thank you for so much great information. I am a home grower and have some 60 blueberry bushes in my property. In my collection I have a combination of NHB, Rabbiteye, and SHB for my region. I need to double check on the Legacy variety. In you slide shows as a Southern HB, but most of the information in the internet shows it as a NHB developed in N.J. Could you verify and if need it fix the slide information to prevent further confusion. Thanks, Josue A. Roman (Greensboro, NC).

Legacy is generally classified as a Southern Highbush type but has some Northern Highbush parentage, see here for more info: www.ars.usda.gov/northeast-area/beltsville-md-barc/beltsville-agricultural-research-center/genetic-improvement-for-fruits-vegetables-laboratory/docs/legacy/

I have them here in N. Arkansas and they do great mostly. They did bloom too early one year. -11f here last winter and no damage and had a great harvest.

@@fomoyearsfofofiv8178 Which breed of southern highbush are you growing? I'm in zone 7 and Korea. The lowest temperature is 2f. I'm thinking about the variety. Have you grown Star, O'neal, New hanovar, and Legacy?

Hello. Thanks for the great video. I am a 25-year-old young farmer who runs a blueberry farm in Korea. This is the hardniess zone 7a area. What Blueberry Varieties Should I Plant? In Korea, most farms are small, so they harvest by hand. We also sell courier services in small quantities to individuals. I'm thinking O'neal, Star, New Harnovar, Legacy. Should I choose varieties for planting in colder areas like DUKE, Draper, etc? both highbush and south highbush are environments that can meet the low temperature requirement. Reply please…

I also live in zone 7a, Southern United States. I have the Rabbiteye. I do very well with Premier, Climax, Brightwell, Tifblue, Powerblue and few others that I am not sure what they are. I struggled in the beginning untill I got my PH correct, But now I have more berries than I will ever use.

What does an increase in temperature effects on highbush blueberry growth or fruiting ? and what is the maximum temperature that highbush blueberries can tolerate? Does the heat damage the plant itself or reduce the yield? The area has enough cold time for chiling (More than 800 hours) But hot summer up to 36 degrees So I decided to plant in a greenhouse what is your opinion

Southern highbush and especially rabbiteye varieties will perform better for you in hot climates, compared to northern highbush varieties.

False : they love reduced soil, not acidity, alkaline reduced soil work as well
