BRIGHTWELL BLUE BERRY

The Brightwell blueberry plant is a rabbiteye-type blueberry bush that produces large, juicy, dark blue berries that are almost seedless: The Brightwell blueberry plant has bluish-green leaves that turn orange in the fall, and smooth tan bark. In mid spring, it produces pink bell-shaped flowers that hang below the branches. The Brightwell blueberry bush can grow up to 15 feet tall if unpruned, but can be pruned to a height of about 6 feet. It can also spread up to 8 feet wide. The Brightwell blueberry produces a large crop of berries that ripen in early to mid season, usually in June and July. The berries can be eaten fresh, baked, or used to make preserves. The Brightwell blueberry plant grows best in full sun or light partial shade, in well-drained, acidic soil with a pH between 4 and 5. It can be grown in large planters or boxes.
