Well, despite those comments, I’m going to ask again (more specifically)

Anyone have experience with either Bluecrop or Reka? Based on availability 
from a good local nursery and on-line descriptions, those sound promising. 
I’m curious about differences in size, growth habit, productivity, and flavor 
of berries.

Also, in happy news, I found some blueberries I planted a few years ago. They 
were very slow to establish and I’d forgotten about them. (They are on the 
edge of the property, and behind some scruffy bushes, so I don’t usually see 
them.) Little Giant and tag-lost. :) They are now nice-looking mature plants, 
covered with blossoms. I plan to net them after the blossoms drop. I assume 
the critters will find a way to eat the berries anyway, but who knows, maybe 
I will actually harvest some blueberries this year.
