I'm surprised Gurney's is going to ship live plants to CA. I tried ordering blueberries online this year, and what was very disappointing was that, after perusing the offerings and reading that such-and-such Southern highbush was optimal for my zone, I see the fine print at the end of the description that live plants cannot ship to CA, among other states. I'm pretty sure Gurney's was one of them, along with Garden's Alive. I've since learned that live plants are not allowed in here. Which means that we can only order/buy from places within our state.

So I've had to purchase from nurseries here and there, at much higher prices than if I had ordered more quantities online. I grew Misty and Sharpblue last year in a half-barrel, thrilled with both. Plan on planting 2 more as soon as I finish a new bed for them. I'll try propagating some this year also.
