Fruit color Raspberries can be divided into groups that produce either black, purple, or red fruit. Blueberry Species and growth habit Blueberries commonly used in home and commercial plantings are classified into highbush and rabbiteye types. The lowbush blueberry is a native type usually harvested from the wild. All three types are different species of Vaccinium . The latest type of blueberry introduced is the southern highbush, which is a hybrid of several cultivated and wild species.
Highbush varieties are generally more self-fruitful and have very high chilling requirements.
Strawberry varieties commonly produced commercially and in home gardens in the Southeast are spring-bearing. These selections flower, fruit, and produce runners in that order. Everbearing varieties flower and fruit in the spring but then initiate flower buds under longer summer days. Day-neutral selections flower, fruit, and produce runners at the same time. They tend to produce a normal spring crop and a rather small fall crop.
