(Vaccinium virgatum spp./ Sharpeblue.)

Sharpeblue Blueberries are easy to grow, relatively resistant to pests and diseases, and can begin to fruit in the first year of growth.

They don't require much space and they love to grow in containers. These Patio Orchard Blueberries are designed to grow in the pot that you buy them in. After 12 to 18 months, you may want to put them in a bigger pot.


Packed with vitamins, blueberries are reported to have one of the highest levels of antioxidants of any fruit or vegetable tested. These little dark blue balls of goodness are fast becoming known as a super food.


 
Sharpeblue is a variety that prefers an acidic, moist well drained soil that is rich in organic matter. It can grow to 2 metres in height but you can maintain its height by keeping it in a container. Like many Blueberries, this variety will have some discolouration on its older leaves. This isn’t harmful to the plant or fruit.
