It sounds like you might already know that local nurseries often have bare root blueberries that will do best in your climate at this time of the year. Jersey blues should do well for you.

Check to get an early and a late to extend your season. It takes up to 5 years to get a full crop from them. give them plenty of room. A good sized Jersey can grow to 6' x 6'.

I've read that it's best to remove the flowers the first year and let the plant grow its roots the first year planted. I forgot last year when I put mine in, and got a handful of berries from each bush. Ooops! They were yummy, though!
