Mini Blues Blueberry is an upright semi-evergreen shrub with a prolific yield of small but intensely flavored sweet-tart berries that ripen in mid summer. The deep green elliptical foliage turns vibrant orange, red, and gold in fall.  Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils.  Mini Blues is self-pollinating but would benefit from a cross pollinator to increase yield, and is highly resistant to common fungal diseases.  Standard chill hours of 800+ for best production.

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.
