Here's some blueberries. Our plants are still pretty young so we don't get to many berries yet but we're super excited to have blueberries for years to come!

My blueberry bushes are easily the most productive plant in my garden. My bushes are about 4 years old and last year we got 2 gallon freezer bags full and that doesn't even count all the berries I ate straight off the plant. I also made a blueberry vinegar that tastes absolutely divine

Two are Patriot variety, and they have both grown quite tall, about 4 feet. The other two are unknown variety because they were actually dug out of someone's yard and given to us as a gift. Those have grown more bushy I'd say about 3 feet diameter
