Some friends grew some. They went through a lot of plants figuring out what they needed. When they finally got some fruit, after some years, they said they calculated they had paid about $75 per blueberry.

Wow, thats a lot. I hope they were worth it.

That is pretty neat that they self-pollinate.

Blueberry bushes grow easily here but if the bushes are not covered, the robins eat them all.

That is some expensive blue berries.

Very cool! More people should grow epiphytic blueberries, they're great plants.
