Southern highbush, very early season.
Zones 5-9 One of the very best flavored berries with consistent quality throughout harvest. In most climates, it is the first variety to ripen. Medium blue fruit, medium size, very sweet on erect bush that is slightly spreading. Can be a little slower to establish but easy to manage to maturity. 400 chill hours. (14+" transplants)
Blueberries are delicious, exceptionally nutritious, high in bioflavanoids. Gardeners in warmer climates can enjoy growing blueberries by choosing one of the Southern Highbush varieties. These require fewer chill hours than the Northern Highbush which require over 1000 hours. Consider climate suitability, ripening season and fruit size when selecting varieties and include at least two different varieties for cross-pollination and fruiting (any two varieties will do, regardless of ripening time). Grow in acidic, well-drained soil. Cottonseed meal is an excellent fertilizer for blueberries along with good quality compost. Sold as single, formerly potted, transplants. Southern Highbush varieties are not dormant. Non-taxable.
