Brightwell Blueberry Bush

Big is definitely better when it comes to the Brightwell Blueberry Bush (Vaccinium ashei 'Brightwell'). This is a classic Rabbiteye native to the southeast and southern states. Today, the Rabbiteye blues are the most sought-after varieties for the low chill regions throughout the United States.

Widely grown commercially, and perfect for the home garden, Brightwell gives you loads of large blueberries that are packed full of juicy goodness. Your friends and family will be thrilled to know that there are far more berries than you can use. Brightwell has reports of up to 10 pounds plus of fruit from one plant! The birds too will try to beat you to the bounty, so invest in some good netting if you don't want to share.

Brightwell is also unaffected by late winter or early spring freezes better than most other varieties. Pollinators galore arrive for the lovely pink blushed white bell-shaped blossoms each spring. Brightwell is considered partially self pollinating, but you can drastically increase fruit production by planting with a different Rabbiteye type nearby.

Planting and Application:

Growing a whopping size, Brightwell has more real estate to provide more berries! Plus they'll provide great screening when planted in hedgerows and groupings, providing you with privacy and your wildlife with shelter and food.

These are gorgeous flowering ornamental shrubs and edible landscaping plants that you will be hard-pressed to find to accent your garden borders and anchor structure corners. Great for boosting both curb appeal and food sustainability at home!
