Pink Lemonaid Blueberries
Seen them in some catalogs, bought 2 off ebay. Hope they turn into some fine bushes some day.

Here's the sellers scoop:

Pink Blueberries add Sizzle to Your "Snackscape"
Lovely pink-white flowers in spring, hot pink fruit in late summer
Self-pollinating, only one plant is needed for berries. But the more the better!
The fruit is just as sweet and mild as regular blueberries
The plant you will receive is well branched, about 7-9" tall and growing in a 2 1/2" x 3" pot
Be the first in your neighborhood to grow 'Pink Lemonade' blueberries. With lovely pink-white flowers in spring, hot pink fruit in late summer and orange-red leaves in fall, this award-winning blueberry is a stand-out in ornamental beds and foundation plantings, providing three-season interest and a delicious, nutritious harvest. The fruit is just as sweet and mild as regular blueberries. Hardy in zones 4-7. Plant in full sun; prefers acidic soil. Mature size is 5' x 5'. Will begin producing fruit in 2 years. Plants are 16 to 18 months old.

While it does say Self-pollinating..I did buy two. and tho it stated I would receive plants 7-9" tall...the one's that arrived today are 13 and 15 inches tall and they lok like well cared for plants. I have purchased other plants from this store on ebay and found them to be good of price, care with plants and helpful if issues arise.
They are currently the only ones selling the Pink Lemonaid Blueberry on ebay.
the store is called hirtsgardens.

HAS ANYONE ELSE BOUGHT THESE?
