Jersey Blueberry Shrub

A hearty, healthy blueberry. Enjoy abundant crops of large, light-blue berries. Plant has ornamental appeal in the landscape with its tall, attractive shape. Resists cracking. Developed in 1916 and introduced in 1928. Cold-hardy. Ripens in August. Self-pollinating, but will yield larger crops if pollinated with Elliott or Darrow. They are an upright bush with a relatively shallow, fibrous root system and woody canes. Fruit is borne on buds formed during the previous growing season in late summer. Highbush blueberry plants leaf, flower, and fruit in June. They are used as hedges, shrub borders, beautiful ornamentals or for wildlife.
