A delicious and resilient fruiting shrub for every garden

This vigorous upright rabbiteye blueberry is well suited for warm, humid climates, making it an excellent choice for Southeastern gardens. It blooms later than many varieties, helping it avoid damage from late spring frosts, yet ripens early—often producing fruit as early as May. In spring, it’s covered in clusters of white flowers, followed by large, firm, juicy berries with excellent flavor and shelf life.

This cultivar pairs well with other late-blooming rabbiteye blueberries to improve pollination and boost yields. It also offers improved resistance to fruit cracking after heavy rainfall, a valuable trait in regions with frequent summer storms. Heat tolerant, disease resistant, and highly productive, this blueberry shrub delivers reliable harvests and strong garden performance year after year.
