Why Choose Rabbiteye Blueberries?

Rabbiteye blueberries (Vaccinium ashei) are native to the southeastern U.S., making them especially resistant to heat, drought, and local pests. They’re a low-maintenance, high-yielding choice for home gardeners and small orchards alike.

  • Type: Deciduous, perennial shrub
  • Fruit: Medium to large, sweet berries
  • Ripening Season: Mid to late summer
  • Pollination: Requires cross-pollination (plant two or more varieties for best yield)
  • Cold Hardy: USDA Zones 7–9
  • Long Lifespan: Productive for decades with proper care

Planting & Growing Tips

Soil Requirements:

  • Prefers acidic, well-draining soil (pH 4.5–5.5)
  • Mix in pine bark or peat moss to increase soil acidity

Sunlight:

  • Needs full sun (6–8 hours daily) for optimal fruit production

Spacing:

  • Plant bushes 5–6 feet apart, with 10–12 feet between rows

Watering:

  • Maintain consistent moisture, especially in the first 1–2 years
  • Use mulch to retain moisture and control weeds

Fertilizing:

  • Use a fertilizer for acid-loving plants (such as azalea or camellia fertilizer)
  • Avoid over-fertilizing in the first year

Pruning:

  • Prune annually during dormancy to maintain shape and encourage fruiting
