So many deliciously sweet blueberries on every bush! Rabbiteye Blueberry bushes give you bushels of healthy berries every summer! Great for snacks & desserts.

• Virtually pest and disease free
• Drought tolerant
• Resists late frost damage that can kill other plants

Now you can easily grow the tastiest blueberries by the bushel – right in your own yard!

Growing your blueberries requires NO mixing chemicals... NO spraying for bugs... and NO ingesting dangerous insecticides – Tift Rabbiteye blueberry bushes are naturally pest resistant.

Plant these bushes now and you could have buckets of berries throughout the summer. Save hundreds of dollars each year, for decades. Plant an attractive blueberry hedge and you'll have plenty extra to share with friends and neighbors.

Blueberries are the nutritional "Super Food". They have a higher concentration of anti-aging antioxidants than almost any other food.

This is one of the easiest plants you can grow... easily adapts to even the worst soils. Plus, the well developed root systems will have them quickly thriving in your yard.

If you have never tasted fresh blueberries, ripened on the branch... then you will be amazed at how sweet and flavorful berries can be.

Now here's your secret weapon that will have your bushes producing more berries, bigger berries and tastier berries than anyone else's. When you order more than one bush, you'll automatically receive separate strands that will cross-pollinate each other. It's like marrying your bushes into outside families. Our competitors don't do this, and it makes a huge difference.

You can't make a mistake, because we send you the best combination of bushes.

We recommend ordering 3 or more bushes for best results. When planting as a hedge, space every 3 feet.

You don't even have to work for them. Once established, these bushes thrive on neglect!
They produce fruit quickly... you should start enjoying your berries the first season.

Plus, your bushes produce berries over a period as long as 3 months, instead of coming in all at once like many varieties. So you have more time to enjoy them.

A mature Tift Rabbiteye blueberry bush provides a hefty 15 pounds of berries each season!

You will have plenty to share and plenty to freeze. These berries are firm, not mushy, so they store with great results.

We suggest you order early because these large bushes will sell out.

Your Rabbiteye Blueberry can be planted any time of year!

It's Easy to Plant your Rabbiteye Blueberry
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Rabbiteye Blueberry. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Rabbiteye Blueberry gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Rabbiteye Blueberry again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Jeff in Houston, TX

I ordered five blueberry bushes. I was picking fruit 7 weeks later. All the fun of owning a fruit producing plant without the waiting for years for production. I am extremely pleased. If you have dirt, you should order these plants.

Patricia

Have had them in pots and finally got them in the ground. New growth has popped out since I planted them in the ground, so I think theyre doing fine. Would like to purchase more.

Cindy

I was happy to have delicious blueberries from my bush the first season.

Shirley

The blueberry bushes are doing great. We didnt have a great amount this year, but they were certainly good. I love the way the color changes them in the fall. My husband is very pleased with his fathers day gift.

Rich

I have to admit that I've bought from a number of nurseries (including Home Depot). Thing is that every blueberry plant I bought from Fast Growing Tress nursery (4 plants) has already produced large (not ripened yet) blueberries for 2011, while all the other blueberries from other nurseries have none (6 plants). So, yes, they are a tad more price wise, but you get what you paid for. I just ordered 3 more... Had someone given me the advice to just buy from here and save yourself the headache of waiting another season for fruit, I would have paid for it. One trip to Costco to buy blueberries ($8.99) tells me that waiting is not worth it to save on a deal! One hint for those new to blueberries... if you want them to thrive and are an avid coffee drinker like me, blueberry plants love ground coffee beens. They increase the acidity in the soil, which blueberries love. So, drink the coffee and save the ground up beens for the plants. They will love you for it and so will your kids for the extra blueberries...

Sonja

It is a healthy plant that rooted immediately. It grew quickly and did great thru the cold winter. I had some fruit the very first season which was great! I am looking forward to next season. I will be freezing some of the berries to use over pancakes and baking.

Nicole

Great packaging and very hardy plant. Produced blueberries last year and this year also. Ours are still in pots and thriving.

Jane

Incidentally, I did not know that for each tree purchased, one is planted in Africa. That is excellent! Besides this empress and another tree that I recently ordered, I have planted two ornamental cherry trees, two blueberry bushes and one raspberry bush that I have ordered from you guys. They are all doing great! I recommend you to all my friends and will continue using your products.

Evelyn

The best blueberry bush for picking large berries. Great for snacking and baking!

Darlene

I dont have a question, but would just wanted you to know how PLEASED I am with the trees that you sent to me. I have ordered many trees via Cottage Farms, and they just throw them in boxes without any protection. I could not believe how well packed yours were. Also, they are all very healthy!! Thanks so much also for the speedy delivery. I have them all planted in time for all the rain that is coming. I WILL be back! Thanks again!

Adam

I bought four blueberry shrubs last year and used them as a shrub in my back yard. They produced delicious fruit the first year. They are easy to maintain. Thank you very much. I am planning on purchasing more.

Dan Lee

I bought 30 of your Rabbiteye bushes in the spring of 2011. They arrived in great shape and had berries on them already. They did develop some Iron Chlorosis almost immediately, but that was solved easily by using some fertilizer for acid loving plants. They are doing great now and have grown almost a foot just this summer. I was worried that they might have difficulty growing here, as I am in north central Pennsylvania, but so far so good. While I was hoping to just get the Tift variety I also got Premier, 15 each. From what I understand its best to cross polinate to get better fruit. The Japaneese Beetles seem to prefer the Premier bushes, they leave the Tift alone completely. I wish I had received more of the Tift and less of the Premier for that reason. I can't wait to see what next year brings. I just bought 30 Sweetheart bushes from you too, and am hoping they do just as well.
