Bareroot Blueberry Trio (3 plants) for California - PREORDER for March 3 fulfillment

Orders placed now are PREORDERS.  Plants will start shipping on the date in the product title.

Our bareroot blueberry trio is a mix of three varieties that are well adapted for growth in California. These Southern Highbush varieties require very few chill hours, have upright bushy growth, and will fruit well in warmer climates. 

Blueberries will fruit better with multiple varieties available for cross-pollination and you will get an extended harvest due, hence this trio. The three varieties included in our trio are: Biloxi, Sharp Blue, and Rabbiteye.  See below for variety descriptions.

We highly recommend growing blueberries in 15 gallon GrowBags with an acidic organic fertilizer.
