The Jersey Blueberry is a full-sized highbush blueberry, reaching up to 8 feet tall in time, with a spread of about 5 feet. It is excellent for growing at the back of shrubs beds, or in a dedicated fruit-growing part of your garden. It has exceptional fall colors of orange and red, and with the pretty spring blossoms it is a great addition to your shrub beds. It ripens a huge crop of berries late in the season, through August, and it’s the perfect companion for earlier-cropping varieties.
The Jersey Blueberry is hardy from zone 4, and it should be grown in full sun for the best results. It will tolerate a little partial shade as well. The soil should be moist and well-drained, and also strongly acidic, with a pH value below 5.0. If you don’t have suitable soil it adapts well to growing in pots, using a lime-free soil mixture. Pests or diseases are rare, and with just a little care you can be harvesting big crops of these delicious berries.
