Comments:
This is the commercial blueberry that has features that make it a worthy choice for its ornamental qualities. Spring flowers, summer fruit, striking autumn foliage color and manageable sizes are all good qualities. Plants are easy to grow and tolerate a wide range of growing conditions provided that the soil is well drained. Plants respond favorable to an annual application of fertilizer in late winter to early spring. The fruit contain valuable antioxidant qualities.
