Emerald Blueberry

Vaccinium formosum 'Emerald'

Emerald is an excellent choice for the warmer areas, because the Southern Highbush plants only require 150-200 chilling hours to produce solid yields of very large blueberries.

Attractive evergreen bushes need little pruning to maintain good form and moderate size (4'-5' tall and 4' wide). Berries with excellent flavor ripen early (May or June) in the south and California, midseason (mid-July to August) in the Northwest.

USDA Zone: 8-10

Grow Height:  4' (Medium)

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: July - August
