In-Depth Description

Vaccinium corymbosum, the northern highbush blueberry, is a North American species of blueberry that has become a food crop of significant economic importance. Their flowers are a great source of early-season nectar for native bees and butterflies while their summer fruit is a songbird magnet. Highbush blueberries are self-pollinating to an extent, but cross-pollination produces a better crop — creating larger yields of larger berries. It is best to plant more than one variety with the same bloom time 4–6′ apart. Bees and wind help bushes to cross-pollinate. All finish with fiery fall color. Plants need acidic soils with pH of 4.0 to 5.5.
