Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blueray'

Blueray Blueberry

Blueray Blueberry produces very large, sweet berries during the early to middle part of the blueberry season. Its upright, open branching makes the crop accessible for hand picking.

Red and yellow autumn leaves add ornamental value after harvest. This northern highbush selection needs approximately 800 or more winter chill hours and is adaptable to both cold winters and warmer summers.

Use acidic, evenly moist soil. Afternoon shade can help in hot climates; cross-pollination improves crops.
