Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between Highbush and Rabbiteye blueberries?
A: Highbush blueberries (Northern and Southern) are generally self-fertile (though they yield better with cross-pollination) and are known for their large, high-quality fruit. Northern Highbush are best for colder climates (Zones 3-7), while Southern Highbush are bred for low-chill areas (Zones 7-10). Rabbiteye blueberries are native to the American South, are generally more vigorous, heat-tolerant, and require cross-pollination with another Rabbiteye variety to set fruit.
Q: Do I need to check my soil pH before planting blueberries?
A: Yes, absolutely. Blueberries are acid-loving plants that thrive in a soil pH between 4.5 and 5.5. If your soil pH is too high (alkaline), the plants cannot absorb iron, leading to yellowing leaves (chlorosis) and poor growth. We recommend testing your soil and amending it with elemental sulfur or peat moss to lower the pH before planting.
Q: How many blueberry bushes should I plant for pollination?
A: While many Highbush varieties are self-pollinating, planting at least two different varieties that bloom at the same time will significantly increase berry size and overall yield. For Rabbiteye varieties, cross-pollination is mandatory; you must plant at least two different compatible varieties to get fruit.
Q: What are 'Chill Hours' and why do they matter?
A: Chill hours refer to the number of hours between 32°F and 45°F that a plant accumulates during the winter dormancy period. Blueberries need this dormancy to reset for spring growth. If you choose a variety with a high chill requirement (e.g., 800 hours) and plant it in a warm zone that only gets 300 hours, the plant will not bloom or leaf out properly. Conversely, a low-chill variety in a cold zone may bloom too early and get damaged by frost.
