It is considered a rabbiteye but if I remember correctly it blooms early. I would get an early blooming variety to go with it. It is kinda hard to tell when it is ready to pick.

Is flordia rose an option?

Only 2? Yikes. Not nearly enough, if your kids like blueberries - unless you're just wanting to cruelly taunt them. lol.

We have about 30 bearing-age rabbiteye & SHB types... enough for the birds, us, friends, and to freeze back many pints... #2 son, when he's home from college, is a threat to eat a gallon of blueberries - fresh or frozen - per day.

Thank you all for your responses!

I think we will end up growing 4 since some of you said 2 was insufficient. :) I'd like to grow more than 4, but we don't have an enormous backyard, and I've read some of the rabbit eyes can get pretty enormous--6 ft by 6 ft. So we will see how 4 do. And with 4 I shouldn't have to worry so much about matching another rabbit eye to the pink lemonade exactly.

Thanks for the review and photos of the pink lemonade, inkfin! That just confirms for me that I definitely want to get this blueberry, both for the novelty and the taste!

Inkfin, are all your blueberries growing in containers and if so what size pots do you suggest? I have thought about doing this though I know they may not be quite as productive they would be easier to take care of - at least for me. The pink lemonade is really nice in your photos, as are all of them.

Shane,

Yes, all my blueberries are grown in containers. The ideal size pots for blueberries would be 25 gallon though they will be really heavy to lift up but can be dragged or wheeled easily, if necessary. However, blueberries can be grown in 15 gallon nursery pots and majority of my blueberries are in 15 gallons pots. I found 20 gallons pots is better (a little bit bigger and still can be lifted easily) but they are hard to find. Nursery pots come in only black or dark green colors (that I know of) but that could be problem during summer as we easily get triple digits temperature for long period of time but I have been painting the outside of pots with white latex paint (pictures below) and that has been working fabulously. Since I do not grow them on the ground (as our soil has very high pH and clay soil is not good to grow blueberries), I can not compare if they will be as productive as if grown in a container (but I have posted a picture for you to give an idea how much does a 1 year and 3 years old plants

That is a great idea painting the containers white. Mine would be growing in partial shade and would likely be okay without the painting but will keep that in mind. I am in zone 7 NC and though it gets very hot we rarely hit the triple digits.
