Perfect for grazers who like to browse through their garden and eat berries right off the bush, 'Bluebelle' is a rabbiteye Blueberry with big and tasty light-blue fruits having supreme flavor. The berries ripen a few at a time over an extended period in early to mid summer. The plants are vigorous with upright growth to around 6 to 8 feet tall and wide making them a great choice for a fruiting hedge in the edible landscape. Being a southern North American native, Bluebelle is well-adapted to hot and humid summers.

NOTE: All of our fruit plants are grown in containers outdoors so they are fully rooted and landscape-ready upon arrival.

Blueberry plants grow best in an acidic (pH of 4.8 to 5.2), organically rich, moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. The more sun the better for best berry production. The shallow, fibrous roots of blueberry plants like a consistently moist but well-drained soil which can be provided by with a layer of organic mulch. Although blueberries are self-fertile, cross-pollination produces the best fruit crop (larger berries and larger yields). Therefore it is best to plant more than one variety that will bloom at the same time. Blueberry season can be extended by planting early, mid-season and late varieties. Make sure to plant two different cultivars/varieties for each season.
