I have read all the posts for blueberries but can't find any actual recommendations for varieties which are sweet and tasty and can be eaten as picked. At the moment i have two gold traub and the fruit has no taste and is acidic raw, so i only use them to make muffins which i do love!!! but would like to eat some fresh. any recs appreciated!

    I think it all depend on how much sun, water, feed they get. I have a tophat variety (it is dwarf one) - which is in its second year now. I didn't have much result last year, as it was a very tiny plant, but this year it is already looking much nicer.
