The majority of blueberries now grown in central and south Florida are Southern highbush (V. corymbosum hybrid) as they have been improved through natural selection and plant breeding programs, especially at the University of Florida, to produce magnificent plump berries with deep, rich color and a delicious fruity flavor.
Site Preparation: Blueberries thrive in full sun in well-drained acid soils with a pH between 4 and 5.
Fertilizer: We recommend using the all-natural fertilizer, Espoma Holly-Tone. Not only is it an acid-forming fertilizer, but it also contains the mycorrhizal agents that are beneficial to the plant.
