Just a few notes
The average chill hours are your ball park figures.
You said this winter for you was very warm. I would find the chill hours starting with this warm winter you said you went through then go back 10 years and find out what the chill hours for each of the years. You may find dips into 700 chills (as an example) and the plant may not flower and no flowers no fruit.

Another thing to consider is your heat and moisture levels.
for example:
Rabbiteye blueberries (Vaccinium ashei), native to the Southeastern United States, are the tallest of the blueberry bushes, reaching up to 10-feet in height. Because of their thick skins, rabbiteye blueberries are able to withstand southern heat in zones seven through nine.
