Why Homeowners Love It
• Produces two substantial harvests annually—one in late May through June and another in August

Planting & Care
Select a planting site with full sun and excellent drainage, then dig a hole approximately twice the width of the root ball at matching depth. Fill with a soil-peat moss blend and water thoroughly. Maintain consistently moist (not waterlogged) soil through weekly watering, or twice weekly during heat waves. Apply fertilizer twice annually—once in spring and again after harvest. Prune only to remove dead branches and thin lower limbs to prevent fruit from touching the ground; minimal maintenance keeps your blueberry bush thriving and productive for years.
