Vaccinium corymbosum Blueberry Blue Jay  s106

BlueJay is a rapid grower and relatively easy to establish and looks great in the landscape.   Long, loose clusters of light blue fruit will hang on the bush for long periods without loss of quality, making BlueJay one of the best early to mid season berries for freezing, pies, and even for canning with its delicately sweet flavours. Light green coloured leaves in summer precede bright yellow stems and branches in winter. BlueJay will grow about 6-7ft upright habit.  Supplied 2 year old pot grown, 30-40cm pot grown ready to plant

Top tip: Since you will have to provide water and bird protection to the crop, plant a small bed or patch rather than a long row. A good continuous water supply is a must (drip irrigation or overhead), especially during fruit set, enlargement and ripening. Insufficient water results in small, poor quality berries. Screening for birds is also necessary. A tightly enclosed plastic or wire mesh should be used during the entire ripening period if you expect to get fruit.
