Toni,
I lease my greenhouse on a farm which has U-Pick blueberry operation. I
think that your 4' spacing is a bit tight. The farm I'm on farm has mature
plants which are a good 6 feet in diameter. If you want a hedge 4' would be
fine but I suspect you compromise yields by growing them this way. If you
plan to do U-pick this also does not allow pickers access to all sides.
