Blueberry

Blueberries (Vaccinium) are small to medium-sized shrubs that make a decorative and productive addition to any garden. They produce small white bell-like flowers in spring, followed by succulent, dusky blue fruits in summer, and in autumn the leaves often turn attractive shades of yellow, red and purple. The main thing to remember is that blueberries need acid soil, with a pH of 4.5–5.5 – if you can grow azaleas, rhododendrons and camellias in your garden, blueberries should be successful too.
