{"product_id":"blueberry-sharp-blue","title":"Sharpblue Southern Highbush Blueberry","description":"\u003cp\u003eSharpblue is a vigorous, low-chill southern highbush blueberry developed for mild-winter climates. It produces light-blue, mild sweet berries early in the season and can retain some foliage through warm winters. Although self-fertile, it generally sets a heavier crop with larger berries when planted near another compatible southern highbush cultivar. Give it full sun, acidic organic soil with excellent drainage, consistent moisture, and frost awareness because its very early flowers can be damaged by late cold snaps. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eVaccinium corymbosum hybrid 'Sharpblue'\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun; light afternoon shade can reduce heat stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7–10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–6 ft tall × 4–6 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low chill; commonly listed near 150–250 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-fertile, but another compatible southern highbush cultivar improves fruit set and berry size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very early spring; flowers can be vulnerable to late freezes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early season; often late spring in warm climates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-sized light-blue berries with mild sweet flavor; long bearing season in mild climates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consistent moisture in acidic, organic, very well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, vigorous southern highbush shrub; may be semi-evergreen in mild winters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning and training:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal pruning while young; later remove weak and oldest unproductive canes after harvest or during dormancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Edible garden, berry patch, pollinator planting, informal hedge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent bee forage in bloom; fruit attracts birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlant size, harvest timing and performance vary with climate, rootstock where applicable, soil, pruning and care.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Towns Edge Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":45139884409040,"sku":"FRT-1006-01G","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/6954\/1584\/files\/SharpBlueberryCgpt1.png?v=1788635545","url":"https:\/\/townsedgenursery.com\/products\/blueberry-sharp-blue","provider":"Towns Edge Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
