Description

A 1995 Mississippi State University – ARS/USDA release, the Jubilee Southern Highbush Blueberry has a vigorous, upright growth habit, and has deep, dark green foliage, making it very good for ornamental purposes. It has also shown an increased tolerance to ‘heavier’ soils. Jubilee is a Mid-season ripening Southern Highbush (but still typically ripens 8-12 days before the earliest ripening Rabbiteye varieties) that produces big yields of medium size berries, with a fresh, sweet flavor, good color, and a small, dry stem scar.

NOTE: All of our fruit plants are grown in containers outdoors so they are fully rooted and landscape-ready upon arrival.

Growing Preferences

Blueberry plants grow best in an acidic (pH of 4.8 to 5.2), organically rich, moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. The more sun the better for best berry production. The shallow, fibrous roots of blueberry plants like a consistently moist but well-drained soil which can be provided by with a layer of organic mulch. Although blueberries are self-fertile, cross-pollination produces the best fruit crop (larger berries and larger yields). Therefore it is best to plant more than one variety that will bloom at the same time. Blueberry season can be extended by planting early, mid-season and late varieties. Make sure to plant two different cultivars/varieties for each season. USDA Zones: 7b-10b Find Your Zone >
