Question
blueberries
What variety of blueberry grows best in the Sacramento, Ca area?
Answer
My favorites would be Misty, Jubilee, Sharpblue and Sunshine Blue. Misty and Sharpblue are earlier to fruit than Jubilee and Sunshine Blue but all will tolerate the heat of the Sacramento valley. Remember you will need at least two different plants to get fruit so I recommend using a couple different varieties.
