Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blue Ray'

Highbush Blueberry

This highbush blueberry cultivar is an upright, deciduous shrub which typically grows 5 - 8' tall but is more manageable as a fruit crop when pruned to 6' or less. Dainty, waxy, bell - shaped, white flowers appear in May. Flowers are followed by medium sized powder blue blueberries which ripen in mid - season. Ovate, dark green leaves turn brilliant, burgundy red in fall. Reddish stems have better winter color than those of most other blueberry varieties. Blueberries love acid soil.
