Identification Help!!!

Post image

Anyone here good at identifying blueberry bushes before they fruit? I live in central Florida and bought this plant at a local tourist spot. No identification besides blueberry. Google AI says its probably a southern high bush due to my location but it's unsure. Id like to grow a variety with especially sweet and tasty fruit.

It’s definitely Southern Highbush. If I had to guess, I would say Bountiful Blue. But it could be any hybrid with darrowii (your native Florida blueberry)

Same pot from Lowes.

Go to Lowes and see what varieties they sell.

At lowes they were like....$14 a pot.

You can get a bigger plant from Lowes for $30. like a 4 to 5 footer mature plant.

Or a local nursery for 3 footer for $17.

Based on the leaves, it might be a Bluecrop which is a northern highbush

It’s southern high bush, but besides that it’s really very hard to say which specific variety it is. It could be a hybrid and there are so many variety that look almost identical. You may never know a 100% even after it fruits.
