Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blueray' - Blueray Blueberry

Blueray Blueberry is an upright mounding deciduous shrub with heavy production of highly flavored sweet-tart mid-season berries.  The elliptical dark green foliage turns attractive shades of red in fall. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils.  Blueray has a high chill requirement of 800+ hours.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Medium Maintenance. Water regularly and mulch.  Prune as needed in late winter. Chlorosis may occur in high PH soils.  Blight, rot, anthracnose, canker, and mildew are occasional problems. Blueberry maggot, fruit worms, and spotted wing drosophila can damage the fruit.  Mummy berry is a fungal disease that shrivels and dries the fruit- remove effected fruit immediately if spotted.
