Note: Due to import restrictions, we cannot ship Blueberries to California.

Climax is a southern blueberry variety known for its large, uniformly ripening berries with a sweet flavor. The plant ripens about one month earlier than Powderblue and features ornamental, blue-tinted leaves that turn red in the fall. Ideal for Zones 7-9, it's a great addition to any backyard garden!
