BLUEBERRY PLANTS
All selections except New Hanover are Rabbiteye varieties. Two or more varieties (planted no more than 100 ft. apart) are needed to insure good pollination. The plants are 3 years old, bare-rooted, 16″ to 24″ tall, and can produce 25 quarts of fruit when mature. Rabbiteye season begins in late June and continues into August.
Rabbiteye Varieties:
- Climax – matures early in the season
