Default Blueberry question

Hi, I plan on putting in the orchard in next year (which will be in full sun). I do have some extra area that sits right next to my forest. The area gets approximately three to four hours of good sun in the early morning but then has spotty shade for the rest of the day. I was wondering if this may be a good spot for blueberries. Is this enough sun or should I wait until next year when the orchard is up/completed? Thanks.

I've picked quite a few blueberries at U-pick operations in southern Delaware.

They are always growing in full sun, and by full sun I mean full sun all day long.

I have a lot of blueberries and they will produce in spotty shade.

Best to thin those overhangers a bit tho.
