Blueberries, from the genus Vaccinium, are small fruits from the Ericaceae family that can be grown in the ground or in containers. They are incredibly versatile and are often used in baked goods, jams, and juices in addition to being eaten fresh. In Virginia, blueberries are a popular crop for the home garden and a favorite among berry crop growers. With the state hardiness zone range from 5B to 8B, there are many blueberry cultivars that can grow successfully with high yields.
