Potted Blueberry - Peach Sorbet

Peach Sorbet blueberry combines a compact edible crop with colorful, four-season container appeal. The mounded shrub grows about one and a half to two feet tall, bears medium-size berries with sweet tropical notes in summer, and displays a changing mixture of peach, pink, orange, emerald green, and sometimes deep purple foliage.

• Plant form: One potted blueberry plant, approximately 2 years old

• Chill requirement: Approximately 300 hours or less; current product range 100–300 hours
• Mature habit: Dense, mounded, and roughly 1.5–2 feet tall
• Harvest: Summer, with local timing dependent on chill accumulation and spring warmth
• Fruit: Medium-size blueberries with sweet, tropical-flavored character
• Foliage: Multicolored new growth and cooler-season tones that vary by climate

Peach Sorbet is self-fruitful, so it can produce blueberries without a pollinizer partner. Growing another compatible blueberry with overlapping flowers may increase fruit quality or production, but it is optional; if adding one, match the low-chill requirement and your local bloom period. The blueberry collection provides additional warm-climate choices for comparison.

Place the plant where it receives full sun for the best combination of fruit and foliage color. Fill the container with an acidic, fast-draining mix near pH 4.5–5.5, leave the crown at its existing level, and irrigate before the root ball dries completely. Empty saucers after watering so roots never remain submerged. In warm regions, afternoon shade can help protect a container from extreme reflected heat, although too much shade reduces flowering. Color intensity, winter leaf retention, and purple tones respond to climate and should not be treated as fixed. Follow the blueberry growing guide for long-term container care.
