Planting and Growing

Blue Jay Blueberry will grow to be about 7 feet tall at maturity | with a spread of 7 feet. It tends to be a little leggy | with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground | and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a fast rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years. This variety requires a different selection of the same species growing nearby in order to set fruit.

This shrub is typically grown in a designated area of the yard because of its mature size and spread. It does best in full sun to partial shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions | but will not tolerate standing water. It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have sandy | acidic soils to ensure success | and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the foliage in alkaline soils. It is quite intolerant of urban pollution | therefore inner city or urban streetside plantings are best avoided | and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selection of a native North American species.
