Vaccinium hybrid Bluejay

Bluejay Blueberry

Bluejay Blueberry produces firm berries in the middle of the blueberry season. The fruit is suitable for fresh use, freezing, baking, and preserves.

White, bell-shaped spring flowers attract pollinators, while autumn foliage extends its ornamental interest. Its tall growth can form part of an edible hedge or a mixed fruit border.

Provide sun and acidic, well-drained soil. Another midseason variety can improve fruit set.
