Yes. For more information on pollination details, see this publication from the University of Alabama: "Fruitfulness and Pollination."  Modified Excerpt - Two or more varieties of the same type, such as rabbiteye, must be planted for cross-pollination. Rabbiteye blueberries generally fruit best when a varietal sequence of two to one is used across the planting,. Highbush blueberry varieties are more self-fruitful but usually benefit from interplanting two or more varieties.
