Vaccinium ovatum

The best fruiting plant for your shade garden! A native of Pacific Northwest lowland forests, this evergreen bush is beautiful throughout the year. In the spring and the fall the young foliage turns from green to a striking bronze color. The late summer-ripening berries are a dark blue; tart and flavorful, half the size of a blueberry. The shrub grows best in the shade where it can reach 6-8 feet without pruning. In the sun it only grows to 3 feet tall. It has a dense growth habit and spaced about 3 feet apart makes a beautiful evergreen hedge.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Will these grow on the East Coast?

    In zones 7 and higher they grow fine in full shade, not in full sun.

  • I am Looking for Bilberries ---are these considered Bilberries ?

    No. Bilberries are a Vaccinium species plant native to the British Isles and Europe. With fruit larger than a huckleberry, low growing, and very tart they are closely related to both blueberries and huckleberries, but evolved on a different continent.

  • Cam they grow in full sun in northern nevada

    Technically yes, if watered well, but they will grow more slowly and fruit less than if they are in full shade.

  • How large is the plant when shipped? And how long will it take to bear fruit?

    8"-12" tall in a pot when shipped. They can bear early on, but your mileage may vary. For best results plant in full shade.

Arrived in good shape

Plant arrived in almost perfect condition. One little tender branch end was broken off, but it's not a big deal. We have the bush still in its gallon container outside while we decide where we want to plant it in our yard. It has started to show some flower buds while it stays on our deck. We're very pleased with the health, size and vigor of the bush we received.
