Before the rabbits took control the lingonberries were surviving but not thriving, the blueberries struggled though. The rabbits didn't touch the raspberries I had planted nearby though, so I'm going to try blackberries where the lingonberries and blueberries were last year. Good luck! Hi Cynthia,

I planted some a few years ago, and while they seem to be spreading well (like a ground cover, not a bush), I have never gotten more than a couple of small berries. I didn't know about the acidic soil, so perhaps that's my problem. I live in MIinneapolis. My daughter wants me to try blueberries now. How did yours do? Would you recommend it?

I recently planted honey berry plants which look like an oblong blueberry and taste like a blueberry, but don't require acidic soil. Time will tell if they work out or not.
