What Is The Best Variety Of Blueberry Bush For Southern Connecticut?

1. I am taking over for a neglected church garden and want to add blueberries. Best variety? 2. we have a 30ft neglected Anjou pear tree and unable to reach fruit. Can I cut it back to maybe 5 ft so that after a few years I can harvest low hanging fruit?

Before planting blueberries be sure to take a soil test to see if the soil is acidic. If not, the soil will need to be amended to a pH range of 4.0 to 5.0.
