growing blueberries in Los Angeles

10 years ago

I have some luck growing blueberries but you folks have great answers very quickly.
Question: I live in Los Angeles, Ca. and would like to grow more blueberries.

What type would be best for my climate. I never really gets cold. At present, I have Mystic blue and southmoon.

1.Rather than put them in pots, would variety would you suggest
2.should I plant highbush or a lowbush variety?
3. Is it best to have several that yield at different times of the year as they cross pollinate?
4. What type of soil components would you recommend
5. If blueberries like cold feet but not soggy(?), do I want them in full sun all day long?

Any advice would be appreciated greatly
