Notes
'Berkeley' blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Berkeley') is a fruit for borders, containers, hedges, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It grows 47 to 71 inches tall and spreads 59 to 94 inches wide, so give it room. Acid soil suits it best, and birds and butterflies visit the plant.
Pairs well with Azalea, Pink-shell azalea, and Olga Mezitt rhododendron.
