Powderblue Rabbiteye Blueberry
Powderblue Rabbiteye Blueberry is a tall vigorous upright deciduous shrub with a high chill requirement but very high production of firm sweet powdery light blue blueberries that ripen late. The large elliptical blue-green foliage turns shades of yellow-orange in fall. The white flower clusters bloom in spring. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Powderblue resists cracking after rain. Should be planted with others to cross-pollinate to increase yield.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Medium Maintenance. Water regularly and mulch. Prune as needed in late winter. Chlorosis may occur in high PH soils. Blight, rot, anthracnose, canker, and mildew are occasional problems. Blueberry maggot, fruit worms, and spotted wing drosophila can damage the fruit. Mummy berry is a fungal disease that shrivels and dries the fruit- remove effected fruit immediately if spotted.
