1. Best variety one: Rabbiteye blueberry
(1) Rabbiteye blueberry trees can grow very tall and large. A single tree can generally survive for about 30 years, so its lifespan is relatively long. A long lifespan means it can bear fruit many times, unlike other saplings that must be replanted after a few years, which consumes a certain amount of time, material resources and financial resources.
(2) Rabbiteye blueberry has relatively low soil requirements; both loam and sandy soil can be used for planting, and it is also fairly drought-resistant, making it very suitable for planting in arid areas, but its cold resistance is relatively poor, so it is not suitable for planting in northern regions.
(3) Suitable planting areas for rabbiteye blueberry include Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other places.
(4) Rabbiteye blueberry can also be subdivided into the following varieties: Tifblue, Brightwell, Woodard, Bluebelle, Bluebell, Premier, Climax, Powderblue, Coastal, Gardenblue, Baldwin, and everyone can choose according to their needs.

(1) The characteristic of lowbush blueberry is that the tree body is relatively small, generally growing to a maximum height of 50 cm. It is a currently very precious and rare blueberry fruit tree. Its fruit is very healthy and nutritious, so if fruit growers want to grow this type of variety, the sapling price will be one or two times that of other varieties.
(2) Lowbush blueberry has relatively low soil requirements; any soil is suitable for planting because its drought resistance and cold resistance are extremely strong, higher than the above varieties.
