Vaccinium x 'Pink Lemonade'

Pink Lemonade remains the first of the newest introductions of "not-blue" blueberries! This innovative variety's fruit turns a charming solid pink when fully ripe, sometimes with light yellow patching. which makes it a unique and interesting addition in the edible landscape. Bushes grow to 4-5' tall. Medium-sized berries are mild and sweet with a hint of lemon when ripe midseason. The leaves turn a pretty yellow/orange in the fall. Spring blooms are white with a pink blush, and the winter twig color is red, giving you interesting color in all seasons.

This low-chill variety only needs 300 chill hours to bloom and ripen reliably, due to its high rabbiteye content. Not a reliable pollinizer for blueberries with Northern Highbush parentage, and is not pollinized by them, although the plant is considered reliably self-fertile. Highly acidic soils and regular moisture keep the plant happy and the berries plump and juicy.

Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 6

Mature Height:  5' (Medium)

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: Midseason/August

Pollination: Partially Self Fertile; Pollinized by Rabbiteye Varieties

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • Can you grow a rabbit eye blueberry variety in zone 7a?

    Hello, yes you can! I would suggest having another blueberry close by though for pollination success.

  • Is this plant self fertile?

    Partially. It will crop heavier and more reliably when planted with other Northern Highbush blueberry varieties.

  • Is this a highbush variety?

    Pink Lemonade is a hybrid of the Rabbiteye blueberry 'Delite' and an unnamed northern highbush cultivar, bred by the USDA over a period of 10 years.

  • Can I keep this variety in a pot? If so what size pot should I get?

    You can yes. 10-20 (dry) gallons at least.

  • How old are your pink lemonade blueberry plants. Is there a particular other variety that fits best with pink lemonade? I'm in zone 5b.

    Roughly 2 years old, and any other besides the Rabbiteye blueberries.

  • I just ordered this, not realizing its for zones 6-8. I live in Zone 4. Can I keep this plant in a pot and bring indoors in the winter?

    You can yes. It will eventually need a larger pot, but they transplant well. Be sure to water more frequently in a potted environment.

  • What is a good variety to plant with Pink Lemonade to increase pollination?

    Any other blueberry will provide cross pollination for this one.

  • What variety would be the best pollinator for this? I’m looking for something that has rabbiteye in it?

    No, you would need northern highbush or northern lowbush.

  • How long does it take the blueberries to produce fruit? Also what is the difference between the 2 liter vs 2-3 ft option?

    They are sold already flowering, so the same year or maybe the next if they aren't happy with the transplant. They are all roughly 2ft tall in a 1 gallon pot.

Excellent company

My blueberry bush was very well packaged and the bush itself is so healthy and full of life. You can tell they really put in the work and have passion for what they do.

Pink lemonade, blueberry, bush

I just received two pink lemonade, blueberry bushes in the mail loosened up their ties and the next day they fluffed out beautifully. I am very pleased with my purchase as the bushes are bigger than I expected them to be with many branches.. I have had a pink lemonade, blueberry bush for many years. I have had a pink blueberry wish for five years and it is my favorite of all!
