Now you can easily grow the tastiest blueberries by the bushel – right in your own yard – organically!
Growing your blueberries requires NO mixing chemicals... NO spraying for bugs... and NO ingesting dangerous insecticides – Tift Rabbiteye blueberry bushes are naturally pest resistant.
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.
In the garden, these blueberry bushes make an attractive hedge or ornamental plant. They like acidic soil and perform best in Growing Zones 6-8. Plant in groups of three so that the necessary cross-pollination can occur. Plant in groups for the most berries possible.
Research by doctors on the topic of anti-aging has fueled demand for blueberries. They have one of the highest anti-oxidant contents of any food.
We suggest you order early because these large bushes will sell out.

I bought tift blueberry bush & 1 bluecrop shrub ... they are nice quality, full bushes - not thin or stickly ... I bought & planted in April & already seeing lots of blueberries ripening up! Easy to care for, I have not used any fertilizer (other than some of my horses compost) or any pesticides ... thriving on water alone. Would like to get more blueberry bushes next year!

Ordered five blueberry bushes. Got them in a few weeks. Planted in two days. They began harvesting 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.

I don't 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 delievery. I have them all planted in time for all the rain that is coming. I WILL be back! Thanks again!

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.

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 they're doing fine. Would like to purchase more.

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.

The blueberry bushes are doing great. We didn't 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 father's day gift.

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.
