Never tried but my sister-in-law here in Florida (near Disney) grew blueberries. Right before they were to be harvested the birds ate every last one. Florida has found a way to grow them now and they are pretty good.

I'd expect a blueberry the size of a handball to taste like gruel. The small wild ones are the best - same with strawberries.

said they wouldn't grow here. It's been a labor of love getting the soil at the preferred acidic ph. They are not huge bushes, but they are now around 4 feet high and produce quite a few berries.
Now my problem is keeping the birds away. Rubber snakes aren't working. I have plastic netting and they still find a way of going under the net.
