 this is a picture of fruit from 5 blueberry varieties which are currently in the peak of production. Alapaha, Austin and Climax are widely planted and most of us are familiar with the plants' fruiting habits and the quality and size of the fruit. Columbus and Montgomery are not as widely planted. Columbus undoubtably has the largest fruit of all the rabbiteye varieties. Montgomery has a very heavy fruit load with large, good quality, delicious fruit.
