I love hearing and learning about such micro-culture -- it would be such nostalgic to learn more about that white oak.

I wonder if there are any people who don't love blueberries!

Blueberries are generally not happy in the Chicago area, though we used to drive to southwest Michigan to take advantage of the bounteous blueberry U-Pick farms. I have several blueberries I grow in containers in order to provide them with adequate acidity. The varieties I use are Top Hat and Little Crisp.Jasonhttp://gardeninacity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737293877559899983.post-66108034620471059372013-04-27T16:37:20.318-04:002013-04-27T16:37:20.318-04:00NJ grows some of the best blueberries....I planted...NJ grows some of the best blueberries....I planted the 2 new trees in pots under we take down the current ash trees.

It was a massive white oak, so we planted a few more.

I just love blueberries, but I usually go to a pick-your-own place up the road to fill my blueberry needs. I hope your five blueberries are very prolific. And happy arbor day! One of the most interesting things about Arbor day is that it is a different day in each area. Of course, that makes sense as the weather for planting trees would be best at different times for different areas.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737293877559899983.post-17896905327152734952013-04-26T16:12:32.664-04:002013-04-26T16:12:32.664-04:00Hi, I didn't know about Arbour Day, had to loo...Hi, I didn't know about Arbour Day, had to look it up, we don't have Arbour Day here in UK but we have a National Tree Week every year, I think it is in the beginning of November, when people are encouraged to plant trees.<br /><br />I love blueberries, but being Norwegian I prefer the Scandinavian variety which is more fragrant and with much more concentrated flavour. The bushes are low growing, just 1’ and they are found wild all over Scandinavia. They variety is called Vaccinium myrtillus. I have not tried growing them in my own garden, don’t think it is cold enough here in London, but in any case I haven’t got room for enough to make it worthwhile. Good luck with yours, hope they bring you lots of blueberries :-)<br />HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.com
