Blueberry “Sunshine Blue” is a popular variety of Blueberry that produces high yields of medium sized, dark blue fruit. The firm fruit have a lovely texture and ripen in summer. New foliage is blue-green and matures to mid-green. This shrub typically grows to 1.2 m tall and the same wide but can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is grown on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun. This variety can grow in almost any climate and does not need another variety to help with pollination. It is tolerant of cool climates, though frosts in late spring can reduce yields. For this reason, it is more commonly grown in warmer climates. Blueberry “Sunshine Blue” is commonly grown for its delicious fruit and often included into a mixed planting or maintained in a container. Planting several varieties is recommended to ensure a continuous supply of fruit over a long period.
