Vaccinium x 'O'Neal'

Introducing the O'Neal blueberry, a Southern Highbush variety that boasts a vigorous, bushy growth habit, reaching a mature height of 4-6 feet, with medium-to-large, very sweet berries. Originally introduced in 1987 by Northern Carolina State University, this variety pairs well with 'Jubilee' in colder climates and any of the evergreen S. Highbush cultivars like 'Star', 'Emerald' or 'Sunshine Blue' in areas with warmer winters.

O'Neal thrives in acidic soil (ph 4.5 - 5.5) with good drainage and requires full sun exposure for optimal growth. Requires heavily acidic soil and regular water. Considered low chill at 450 hours.

Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 5

Mature Height:  5' - 6' (Large)

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: Early

Pollination: Partially Self-Fertile; Yields will be Higher with another Southern Highbush variety like Jubilee.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Does the O'Neal need another variety for pollination or is it self-fertile? I see both statements in the description. If it does need another variety, would Bushel and Berry Pink Icing work?

    They should cross pollinate yes

  • Will the Bushel & Berry Peach Sorbet Blueberry OR the Emerald Blueberry be pollinators for the O'Neal Blueberry?

    Yes, it should pollianate fine as a hybrid.
