Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Polaris’ – Polaris Blueberry
Price range: $67.00 through $82.00
Polaris Blueberry is a tight rounded deciduous shrub with a heavy yield of early-season berries that are deep powder blue with an extra sweet flavor. The rich green elliptical foliage turns orange-red in fall. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Polaris is only partially self-pollinating, and would benefit from a cross pollinator to increase yield.
