Grow Blueberries in Ground With Plenty of Organic Matter; Raised Beds or Containers, or In Your Home Garden.
It can handle colder weather better than other Rabbiteye blueberries, so this shrub is great for cooler climates. Around 650 chilling hours are the Tifblue blueberry chill hour requirement needed for this plant to set fruit properly. Grows best in USDA hardiness zones 7-9. The tifblue blueberry plant zones make it slightly cold hardy in the Southern states.
Fruits are large, light blue, and fully ripe later in the harvest season, ready for harvest in mid-June to late July. Excess fertilizer easily damages blueberries, so be sure to allow for rain between applications. Plant in full sun for best results!
The tifblue blueberry plant size can get up to 3-15 feet tall and 3-10 feet wide at full maturity. You can grow them in containers on your patio or deck if you would like to maintain a smaller blueberry bush.
The advantage of buying our potted blueberries is that their well-developed root systems will have them quickly thriving in your yard. These blueberry varieties do not ship bare root for the safety of the plants.
