Certainly not, Amy. :-))

I really think that blueberry bushes are "worth their weight in gold". The berries apart, they give us interesting blossom, stunning autumn foliage colour, and those reddish-coloured winter branches - great "all-rounders". :-))

And they taste good to .... I have about 8 bushes and get a good crop from them .. did you know that they use to feed blueberries to the pilots in the war because they are good for the eyes ?
