The Bluejay Blueberry is renowned for holding its ripe berries for a long time, so you can harvest just what you need, leaving the rest for later. With a delicious sweet flavor the large berries are richly blue, and they ripen in June, ready for eating or baking. This bush grows to about 6 feet tall, and it has unusually attractive foliage and excellent fall colors, so it’s ideal for garden beds as well as a fruit garden. Perfect as a dividing hedge in your garden.
Full sun will give you the best results with your Bluejay Blueberry plants, but a little partial shade won’t hurt. The soil should have a pH value below 5.0, and be moist but well-drained. If you don’t have suitable soil, plant in a large tub or pot, using a mix of soil, peat and pine bark. This vigorous bush is hardy in zone 4 and usually free of pest or disease problems.
