Ed,
We've got Blueray(or Bluecrop, I can't recall which), Elliot, Nelson, 
Spartan, and Patriot; all have been bearing for about 4 years now - I can't 
quantitate amounts produced, as the kids eat most of them right off the 
bushes.  As I stated earlier, I like Spartan & Patriot best.

I'm a bit south of you - doubt that most rabbiteyes would work for you 'up 
there', but I'm sure putting some in - while they may not get as large here 
in KY as in AL, my dad's 10 bushes are probably 7ft tall,with similar 
spread - I remember a couple of years back when we went down to visit, Dad 
had picked all he intended to, we picked 40 qts, and you still couldn't 
tell that anyone had picked at all - no need for bird protection; there 
were plenty for them and us.
