BLUEBERRIES
Southern
Highbush Blueberries were specifically hybridized for superior fruit,
soil adaptability, heat tolerance and low winter chilling. This makes
them particularly suitable for coastal areas of California as well as
the inland valley. All Southern Highbush Blueberries are
self-pollinating, but the berries will be larger and more productive if
two varieties are planted together. Full sun to half day sun in hot
areas. Late spring to summer fruiting. Blueberries prefer rich acidic
soil and even moisture. If acidic conditions can not be obtained in your
soil, try growing Blueberries in a 16 to 20” container. A recommended
mix is: One third - ¼” Pathway Bark, One third - Peat moss, One third -
forest by-product Potting soil, 1 handful Soil Sulfur
The
following varieties will be available in containers throughout the year.
