Pollination Info
Powderblue Blueberry Pollination
Powderblue Blueberrys are not self-fertile. You will need to plant another variety to achieve fruiting. Below are the most effective pollinators we have chosen for your area...
Planting & Care
1. Planting: You can plant your Powderblue Blueberry in your garden or in a pot. Either way, you'll need to make sure it gets full sun and the soil is well-drained and acidic. If you plant in your garden, be sure to leave 10 feet of space between your other plants.
From there, planting is easy. Simply dig a hole large enough to accommodate the Powderblue's root ball, place your plant, backfill the soil and water the area.
2. Watering: Powderblue Blueberries are drought tolerant but need to be watered once a week during the first year. A good rule of thumb is to check the surrounding soil for dryness, about 2 or 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it's time to water your Powderblue.
3. Fertilizing: Once you see leaves on your plant, you can add some acidic fertilizer. And once your plant is fully mature, you can fertilize it once a year in June and again in the fall if the harvest is smaller than expected.
4. Pruning: You won't need to prune your Powderblue Blueberry unless you want to manage the size and shape of the hedge. If so, prune in late winter.
5. Pollination: This is not a self-fertile plant and will need another variety of Rabbiteye blueberry to thrive. We recommend the Premier Blueberry.

United StatesPerfect Blueberry Bushes!
We’re impressed with the bushes. They’re a good size. Very well rooted. Lots of side branches. Can’t wait to get our first berries!
United StatesFantastic bush
I have received a very healthy bush, just like every other plant from FGT. First I wasn't sure if it will survive, because I bought and planted it in mid November and it's all covered with buds, ready to welcome spring. Happy with my purchase.

Bushes arrived in good health. Very satisfied with plant quality. Order arrived in a timely manner.
United StatesAustin Texas - Blueberry Bushes
In early June 2022, we purchased (8) Powderblue Blueberry - 3 gallon plants. Our blueberry bushes showed signs of heat damage (brown crisped leaf edges) immediately the same day they arrived after just one hour in Western sun exposure due to our high heat and full sun. So we planted them in ground where they only receive 8 hours of full Eastern sun. They are planted in rich soil with root rocket. They are watered daily by hand with my hose on shower mode for one minute. The blueberry bushes have nearly doubled in size and they are huge!! Lots and lots of harvest already, some of the berries were ripe and harvest-able within a week of planting. Blueberry bushes last for decades so good care will keep them producing for years and years. Side note: we planted premier in pots between the row of blueberries to help pollinate. Some stats: 8 count - 3 gallon plants, planted in rich soil. 8 hours of full sun Hand watered on shower mode for exactly one minute a day Only Eastern sun exposure South Texas, zone 9
