Description

Another 1978, North Carolina State University release, Premier Rabbiteye blueberry has a very vigorous, upright growth habit, and it is known to be a heavy yielding variety with good overall disease resistance. Berries ripen early to mid-season (typically earlier than other mid-season blueberry varieties), are large in size, with a beautiful light blue color, wonderful flavor, and a dry stem scar. Premier Rabbiteye blueberry is recommended for all applications, but is especially suited for hand picking – which makes it an excellent choice for home gardeners. Premier also has attractive fall foliage that is orange-red in color.

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 >

I received my order of blueberries yesterday. I was so impressed with the quality of the plants! I had such a hard time trying to find a nursery selling rabbit eye blueberries. I was a little nervous buying online because many times you just don’t know what you are going to get. I said many times between pulling them out of the box and putting them in the ground, “I can’t believe how good these look!” I look forward to seeing them leaf out this spring!
Thank you!———————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the wonderful review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
