Blue Jay Blueberry Bush

The Blue Jay Blueberry Bush (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blue Jay') is a productive variety known for its large, sweet, and flavorful berries. The berries ripen in mid-season, typically in late summer, and have a vibrant blue color. Blue Jay bushes thrive in USDA Zones 4-7 and require full sun, acidic, well-drained soil, and regular watering. While self-pollinating, they benefit from cross-pollination with another blueberry variety, such as Patriot or Legacy, for better fruit production. The bushes typically grow to about 4-5 feet in height and should be pruned annually to maintain shape and improve yields. Blue Jay blueberries are resistant to many common pests and diseases but should still be monitored for issues like root rot and fungal infections.
