Blueberry Cross-Pollination: Choose Southern Highbush or Rabbiteye

'Chippewa' is a northern variety needing more chill hours than Georgia provides. 'O'Neal' is a Southern highbush, self-pollinating but yields larger berries with a partner like 'Blue Ridge' or 'Star'. Rabbiteye varieties ('Alapaha', 'Tifblue', 'Delite') are best adapted to metro Atlanta.
