About Blueberry 'Jersey' Highbush Potted Blueberry Plant
Vaccinium corymbosum 'Jersey' - Jersey Highbush Blueberry
Jersey Highbush Blueberry is a vigorous upright deciduous shrub with high production of very sweet powdery light blue blueberries that ripen late. Red stems hold the large elliptical dark green foliage which turns orange-red in fall. The waxy white flower clusters bloom in spring. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Jersey has good resistance to root rot. Should be planted with others to cross-pollinate to increase yield.
Vaccinium corymbosum are highly valuable for wildlife as well, being listed as a host plant for 32 different butterflies and moths, and provides nectar to several specialized bees. The berries and branches are good food sources for birds and mammals.
