Blueberry Bushes
Blueberry Bushes
Blueberries love acidic soil and need a companion blueberry plant to produce a better yield. Ideally, it’s best to get at least 2 different varieties!
Some differences between Rabbiteye (Vaccinium Corymbosum) & Highbush (Vaccinium Virgatum):
Highbush blueberry fruits are usually larger. The fruit is jucier, with a thinner skin.
Rabbiteye are a little tougher, but tend to be a little sweeter.
Rabbiteye are a bit more tolerant of drought and less-than-ideal pH
Typically, highbush ripen about 3-4 weeks earlier than rabbiteye
Our advice? Plant both. You will have blueberries almost the entire summer and you’ll get to try a variety of different flavors!
The varieties we have in stock tend to change quite often, but some examples have been:
Rabbiteye: Brightwell, Powder Blue, Ochlockonee, Alapaha,
Highbush: Sweet Crisp, Climax, Legacy, Emerald
