Emerald Southern Highbush Hybrid Blueberry

Largest sized berry of Southern Highbush varieties.

Largest berries of Southern hybrids
Long harvest period
Productive even in central Florida

Start blueberry season with some of the largest berries available! Emerald Southern Highbush Hybrid Blueberry produces very large berries with a mild blueberry flavor. The plump berries look lovely in fruit salads and baked up into pies. The highly productive plants grow 5-6 ft. tall and continue producing large berries through a long harvest period, allowing for multiple harvests. They're a very low-chill variety, requiring 150-250 chill hours, so they'll do well as far south as central Florida. The plants are self-pollinating, but will produce larger berries when cross pollinated with other varieties. Ripens early to mid season. Zones 8-10.
