The Becky Blueberry bush is a variety of Rabbiteye blueberry which will grow to be 6-8ft. These bushes will have white and pink blooms in early spring. Becky Blueberry bushes grow best in soil that is acidic, and rich with organic matter. Fruit will ripen mid-spring to early summer. Use a slow-release acidic fertilizer on your blueberry plants.
Blueberries have become a very popular landscape edible because they are easy to grow, high in antioxidants, and delicious in muffins, cereal, pancakes, and much more!
*The Becky Blueberry is a deciduous/semi-evergreen plant and will go dormant during the winter months. When this plant is ordered during the Fall/Winter expect seasonal foliage decline(discoloration, spots, leaf drop) or the plant to arrive completely dormant.*
Blueberries need a cross-pollinator for positive results. Planting two or more varieties 3 to 6+ feet apart is recommended.
***Remember when planting blueberry bushes you have to plant two different types so that the bushes can cross-pollinate.
