Matt,
 
I would say without a doubt Bluecrop or Jersey are going to be your two most 
vigorous and upright growing from that list.  Bluecrop is probably slightly 
more spreading and perhaps has a bit more of a tendency for canes weighted 
down with fruit to be floppy.

Subject: [nafex] Blueberry vigor.

I've got an odd-shaped triangle bed, which I've heavily amended with
organic matter and peat in order to trial blueberries in my
near-neutral soil. My problem which I'd like your help with, is which
of these blueberries is the most vigorous, and/or upright grower:

Elliot
Bluecrop
Jersery
Duke

I want to plant 4 varieties, to get the longest season for home use.
But the bed is triangular, and the only planting pattern that makes
sense with four is to have one in the middle. Hence, if there is one
variety that is more vigorous or upright, I'd like to put that one in
the middle.

Any opinions?

Matt,  I am growing all 4 of these and agree with Matt.  My vote would be for 
Bluecrop as most vigorous.

John
