I have only grown Sunshine. They do ok here in the Tampa bay area.

I have both Emerald and Windsor gorwing in Oviedo. However, the Windsors have been in place only since last November and the Emeralds went in about two months ago. I also have Florda Blue, Sharp Blue, Gulf Coast, and Jewel highbush, and TiffBlue plus a couple of other rabbiteyes whose cultivar names I forget at the moment. All of them save the Windsor and Emerald have been in for years. However, both of the new varieties are growing very well. I can't say anything about their fruiting, as I plucked all buds from the Windsors and the Emeralds to encourage maximum growth this season.

I looked everywhere for Sunshine and finally hit the Internet. I just received 3 plants of Sunshine from Big Dipper Farms. They are in the Northwest somewhere but the palnts were here within a day of getting a shipping notice from them. Nice looking plants.

emeralds are, i think, the best variety for central florida. vigorous, productuve, big tasty berries. also, i think, more tolerant of less-than-perfect ph.

I agree with Ill about Emerald, mine are a year old and look more vigorous than my other 5 or so varieties, and are very productive.

My best growing blueberry bushes are Emerald, Princess, and Windsor. All three bought from a commercial nursery one year ago. I let them fruit this spring and found the berries to be extra large and very productive. dclegg, you have very good varieties. Be aware that the Sunshine Blues are southern highbush dwarfs.
