Tifblue is a widely planted rabbiteye blueberry — dependable, hardy, and well‑suited to a variety of climates. It produces flavorful blue berries with a good shelf life. In cooler climates the bushes reach 5′–6′ tall; in warmer regions they may grow 8′–10′ or more. Ripening begins around July (depending on local climate). For best results, space plants in a 6‑ft circle in Zones 6–7, or up to an 8‑ft circle in warmer zones; hardy through Zones 6–9.
