Emerald Southern High Bush

The Emerald Blueberry is a Southern Highbush cultivar developed in Florida, known for producing large, sweet, and flavorful medium-blue berries with abundant yields. Southern Highbush blueberries are hybrids of the Northern Highbush (Vaccinium corymbosum) with southern species such as V. ashei and V. darrowi, which makes them more tolerant of heat and mild winters and suitable for warmer climates. Emerald specifically has a low chill requirement of about 250 hours, making it dependable in southern regions and USDA Zones 8–10 Offered from Pense Nursery, Inc.
