Vaccinium corymbosum 'Jersey'
Common Name: Jersey Blueberry, Northern Highbush Blueberry
Jersey Blueberry is a tall northern highbush variety valued for late-season crops. Its medium-sized, dark blue berries have a notably sweet flavor.
The well-shaped bush can serve as a substantial part of an edible border. It needs approximately 800–1,000 winter chill hours and benefits from another blueberry variety flowering nearby.
Choose sun and moist, acidic soil. A compatible pollination partner helps increase the harvest.
