Donna & all,
I've got several rabbiteye bushes - variety unknown - they're some my dad
rooted from some of the plants in his planting back home. They're doing
just fine here in southern west-central KY, bloom(I presume - haven't
really paid all that much attention) and ripen their fruit after the
northern highbushes are finished, so they prolong my season
significantly. Heavier production than the northern highbush types, but I
will say that the variety my dad gave me is not as tasty to eat out-of-hand
as are most of the NH types - but they're just fine for cooking, and not
bad to eat - just don't seem to be as sweet as the NHs.
I'm looking at putting in more rabbiteye varieties, and fewer northern
highbush.
I've planted a couple of the Southern highbushes - O'Neal, Ozarkblue,(don't
think I've put in a Georgia Gem), but have been pretty unimpressed with
their vigor; they just haven't done much.
Lucky
