High bush vs low bush blueberries. They're so different they may as well be a separate berry.

There’s also rabbiteye, which are similar to high bush but have lower cool hour requirements. Maybe it’s a subtype of high bush, but horticulturists around my area note a distinct difference in them.

Do you call them that because the bushes themselves look different?

The wild sort grow in low shrubs up to maybe mid-shin whereas the one you bu from the garden centre is more of a bush

Yeah, they are like chest to face high, depending on your height.
