When to plant blueberry in Darwin
Honest answer: blueberry is a poor fit for Darwin. Blueberry can't handle the heat in your area — temperatures exceed 30°C for too much of the year. If you're set on trying, treat it as an experiment — a sheltered microclimate or pots you can move may stretch the rules.
Tropical zone tip
Blueberries aren't suited to the wet tropics, not enough winter chill and too much heat. Choose a different fruit.
Darwin is essentially frost-free, which gives blueberry plenty of flexibility either side of the ideal window.
