Vaccinium corymbosum 'Jersey'
Plant has ornamental appeal in the landscape with its tall, attractive shape. Resists cracking. Developed in 1916 and introduced in 1928. Cold-hardy. Ripens in August. Self-pollinating, but will yield larger crops if pollinated with Earliblue.
1) Space plants 4 feet apart in rows that are 10 feet apart. Dig a hole two times the width of the root ball in good loose garden soil with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5 amending if necessary.
2) Remove plant from packaging and lightly loosen the bottom of the root ball to release the roots as you set it in place in the hole.
3) Keep the top of the root ball even with soil surface and fill in around the roots. Lightly tamp dirt around your newly planted blueberry.
4) Water well and add additional soil if necessary and water again.
