Highbush Blueberry Plant – 3 Year Old Plant – Sweet Blue Fruits

Grow Your Own Delicious Highbush Blueberries

Enjoy the taste of homegrown blueberries with our 3-year-old highbush blueberry plants. These plants are a great addition to any garden, offering both delicious fruit and beautiful foliage. The highbush blueberry plant produces very sweet, light blue fruits that resist cracking, ripening in July and providing a harvest that lasts for weeks. For optimal fruit production, plant with at least two other blueberry varieties to ensure adequate cross-pollination. The bushes grow to 5-6′ tall and turn a stunning crimson in the fall, making them ideal for an informal hedge.

Blueberries thrive in acidic soil with high organic matter content. Good drainage is crucial, as their shallow, fibrous roots are susceptible to oxygen deprivation. However, blueberries are not drought-tolerant and require consistent moisture. They flourish in sunny locations. Various types of blueberries, including highbush, half-high, and lowbush, can be successfully grown. Planting multiple cultivars (cultivated varieties) within 5 feet of each other promotes cross-pollination, resulting in larger berries. Different cultivars ripen at different times, extending your harvest season.
