Everyone is looking for a dwarf Blueberry to use in the landscape but the varieties available invariably disappoint due to poor fruiting or poor growing. Jelly Bean® changes all that in the form of a dense, compact, small leaved plant that produces masses of medium sized, dark blue, incredibly tasty blue berries in July and early August.

Bush Features:  

   Bloom Color: White
   Bloom Time: late Spring
   Mature Height: 1-2 feet
   Mature Spread: 1-2 feet
   Harvest: Prolific harvest of medium sized fruits mid Summer

   Zone: 4-8

   Pollination: Self-pollinating, but cross-pollination by another late Spring bloom blueberry will yield more fruit.
   Placement: Full Sun

          Nursery Stock Specifications:

               Pot Size: 2 gallon 
               Age: 3+ years old, fruiting

Fruit Profile:

   Color: Dark blue
   Texture: Firm
   Taste:  Sweet, taste like homemade sweet blueberry jelly

   Uses: Great for fresh eating, preserves and baking

Other notes:

  • Dwarf globular shape
  • Colorful fall foliage of green leaves with red margin
  • Compact, a great selection for growing in a large patio container!
  • Native

Care:

  • Feed yearly with an organic fertilizer
  • This blueberry produces new canes each spring and fruits on new canes. Once fruiting is complete, prune canes that have fruited leaving new canes to fruit the next season. Annual pruning promotes plant growth and berry production.
