That’s because a blueberry plant produces more berries and bigger berries when it cross pollinates with a different blueberry variety. See HGIC’s publication, “Getting Started with Small Fruit.” Its chart lists blueberry varieties that flourish in Maryland and it includes bloom and ripening times. With an assortment of varieties, you can harvest blueberries for months. Be sure bloom times overlap.
