    Hello Stu, I have not used them but recommend Adama Apples for anything fruiting. I have not grown much blueberry so cannot recommend a variety.

    Stu, I grow only Earlyblue and Bluecrop, both in pots, but they are laden with blueberries – much to the envy of several family members and friends who don’t seem to be able to make their blueberry bushes fruit much!

    I grew Brigitta too but discarded it. The plant always seemed to want to flower in winter and it was a magnet for scale insect too. I get scale on my other blueberry plants but they have good long stems and stay fairly healthy with a quick wipe down every once in a while. Brigitta was smaller with fiddly stems – for me it was not a healthy plant.

    I have thought of adding another plant to replace Brigitta so if you or anyone else has a recommendation I would be interested to hear.
