Blueberries are popular with people and birds.
They are attractive fruit-bearing plants that can be used in the landscape or in the garden. They are easy to grow, but usually must be covered with netting to prevent the birds from eating the whole crop. Plants bear more fruit when two or more varieties are grown together. Site Preparation Blueberries prefer light, well-drained, acid soils that are high in organic matter. Since most gardens don't have these conditions, they must be created.
