Blueberry - Blue Rose
$18.75 ($17.75-$49.00 choose a size)
A Northern highbush selection best suited to cooler climates. An excellent variety, with good autumn foliage, and large fruit. It is essential that the fruit be left on the shrub until the last minute, as the fruit is very acidic and will not ripen after being picked. When they are fully ripe they make an excellent berry for cooking or fresh eating. The skins will melt after about 10 minutes of simmering and produce a self-thickening sauce that is delicious poured over ice cream. They are one of the few berries that, when frozen and thawed, keep their form and flavour.Tall growing and extremely vigorous this blueberry is prolific. Start picking before Christmas and have blueberries into March. Most important. Blueberries require an acid soil with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5. They also require a free draining loose friable soil. They dislike clay heavy soils. To aide the successful establishment of bushes it is best to build up beds by incorporating peat moss and garden soils at a 50/50 ratio. Peat is preferred as it is naturally acidic.

I had several which couldn't handle Perth heat and partial (4-5 hours a day)sun. All fell over....Now have two in pots on the patio and they only get an hour of sun before sunset - and they are thriving. Plenty of berries - every day when in season.

Roots are close to the surface so mulch well. Oak leaves, pine needles and used coffee grounds are all acidic and ideal for blueberries. Each spring surface dress with a small amount of blood and bone around the drip-line. All this keeps mine happy.

Blueberry Plant
The blueberries planted in prepared ground were still very slow to grow. When potted up in Azalia/Camelia potting mix they have since thrived. Correct PH is important.

You must have multiple plants to get any decent amount of berries. Birds are a real nuisance. Tub growth for protection is recommended. Plants are hardy enough. Variety Biloxi is best for warmer regions. Keep moist, don't over fertilise.
