Biloxi Southern Highbush Blueberry

Perhaps the world’s largest blueberry, this outstanding selection from New Jersey bears spectacular, cherry-size, delicious fruit. Chandler Blueberry begins ripening in mid-summer and harvest extends over several weeks.

Cabernet Splash Blueberry

A fantastic new introduction in the “delicious yet ornamental” category, Cabernet Splash blueberry produces a deep wine red foliage in spring that eventually settles to a mottled green in summer and then alights in color again in fall turning fiery red. The berries are large, early ripening and similar tasting to Toro.

Razz Blueberry Bush

Razz Blueberry Bush looks like a blueberry but taste like a raspberry! Robust and hardy Razz produces good yields of medium to large berries, that ripen midseason. Its plump, powdery blue fruits, with unique raspberry undertones in their flavor, are excellent for eating fresh, and for culinary uses.

Don’t forget Blueberry Plant Fertilizer! If you want lots of juicy blueberries, it’s critical to keep your blueberry plants happy and healthy with the correct type of fertilizer. Down to Earth Acid Mix is the best organic fertilizer we have found. You will be pleased with abundant crops when you fertilize your Blueberry Bushes at least twice a year – once May and again in July.
