Vaccinium ashei – Bluebell Blueberry

Due to import restrictions, we are unable to ship Blueberries to California or Oregon.

Bluebell blueberry is a vigorous, southern rabbit-eye variety that adapts well to different growing conditions. It ripens early compared to other species, producing large, light blue fruit. If you allow the fruit to fully ripen beyond its blue color, it will increase in sweetness. It grows exceptionally well at the nursery when old wood chips are applied annually.
