The highbush. blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) is native in the. eastern third of the United States and southeastern. Canada. Florida is rich in other native Vaccinium. species. The woods and swamps of Florida are. populated with at least eight wild blueberry species.
They are relatively easy to grow when given acid soils and the right grow-ing climate. The best blueberry for Texas is the rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium ashei) . It is grown commercially in East Texas, where the humid woodlands are typical of native rabbiteye blueberry habitat.A single rabbiteye blueberry plant can produce 15 pounds of berries per year (Fig. 1), and the berries are easily marketed.f you want a longer harvest period, plant early, mid-season, and late-ripening varieties.Most rabbiteye blueberry varieties need a pollen-izer variety planted nearby to produce the maximum amount of fruit. A few varieties, such as tifblue, are somewhat self-fruitful (Fig. 3).
