Yup, its true. There is such a thing as an evergreen blueberry shrub.
Its technically a semi-evergreen, and a semi-dwarf 3-4ft high plant good for large containers or in the garden. It features hot pink flowers in spring that fade to white and produce abundant crops of large tangy fruits. It's self pollinating, meaning that only one shrub is required to produce fruit. However, it will produce more fruit if more blueberry plants are nearby.
For best growth, plant it in full sun, in acidic, moist but well drained soils. Feed it in early spring with an acidifying fertilizer, like those used on Rhododendrons and Camellias. Hardy in zones 5-10.
Sunshine Blue is available at Arts Nursery in limited quantities. Please call ahead to confirm.
