Landscaping Uses

Its glossy green foliage turns brilliant red in fall, adding year-round visual interest beyond its productive seasons.

Planting & Care

Choose a sunny location with acidic, moist soil that drains well. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and plant at the same depth it was growing in its nursery pot. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture during the growing season, especially during fruit development. Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. While self-fertile, cross-pollination with another blueberry variety will increase fruit size and overall production. Your bush should begin producing fruit within the first year, with peak harvests in subsequent seasons.
