Blueberry Pink Icing

Blueberry Pink Icing Details

Blueberry Pink Icing is a dwarf variety that produces good yields of medium sized, dark blue fruit. The fruit has a lovely flavour and ripens in late summer and continues into autumn. New foliage is pink and matures to dark green, then develops red-orange tones in autumn before falling. In warmer climates it may remain evergreen, however. This shrub typically grows to 90 cm tall and the same wide, and 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. 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 Pink Icing 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.
