  (4 customer reviews)

Jersey Blueberries medium-blue fruit so large and juicy, you'll have a hard time getting it to the table. Plump berries seem to disappear just as fast as you pick them! Fine for freezing, too. 12-18-inch plants.

Rich blue fruit is medium-sized and very sweet— favorite for baked goods. 6- to 8-ft. bush is a heavy, reliable producer which tolerates a wide range of soil types, and displays orange flame fall foliage. One of the most widely grown varieties. Ripens in late July.

Blueberries belong in every home garden! Not only do they produce deliciously sweet and healthful fruits, nut the 4- to 6 foot shrubs make handsome landscape plants. Once established, blueberries need little care or attention.

Bareroot.
Zones 3-8.

In love with Jersey
Reviewed By: Roberta Cegarra (Danville, NH)
I started with two blueberry bushes to see how it went. I have an Earliblue and a Jersey. My Jersey is doing phenomenal and my Earliblue is right there too. Excellent fruit and lots of it! I'm hooked...bought 9 more bushes of various varieties!

Leaves fall off
Reviewed By: Paul Rutter (State College, PA)
I have had terrible luck with this blueberry plant type. The leaves fell off half of my plants after receiving them from Gurneys, leaving stalks that aren't doing much of anything. Without leaves no photosynthesis can happen. The plants do not seem energetic or hardy-almost lifeless. I'd avoid the seedlings from Gurneys and find more mature product that is stronger with a will to live.

One of the ‘classic’ blueberry varieties
Reviewed By: B. Everitt (Fremont, California)
My Jersey blueberry will soon be two years old (since I received it from Gurney’s). While it still may be one or two more years until blueberry production fully kicks in, the plant is doing very well, and so I will give it four stars. Jersey has historical value. While the more modern blueberry varieties have complex ancestry, being crossed and hybridized many times over, Jersey (released in 1928) is one of the first-generation crosses between two wild highbush plants. Jersey’s parents are Rubel (also sold here) and another wild selection named Grover. The two were cross pollinated in 1916. The Jersey blueberry was one of the resulting seedlings to come from this cross. While Jersey may be considered obsolete to some, for me it’s interesting to own a piece of blueberry history.
