Product Description

Jersey is a highbush blueberry cultivar which is well known for good cold hardiness, vigor, and large numbers of 1/4" - 1/2" sized fruit with excellent sweetness. Jersey shrubs will mature at a slightly larger size than many other highbush varieties if left to grow naturally, and untrimmed. To obtain maximum fruit yield, a second variety of Blueberry is recommended to be planted within close proximity - doing so will usually increase both fruit set, as well as fruit size. Foliage of Jersey is rather large leaved (up to 3" - 3 1/2" long), oval shaped, and very nice deep green in color. Fall coloration is a very attractive orange / red color. White bell shaped blooms begin in May, with fruit set beginning shortly after - beginning to ripen in mid season (late June thru early July in East TN). Most all blueberry cultivars tend to have rather shallow root systems, which will require adequate amounts of water especially during fruiting. Starter plant in a 2.5" Pot. Dormant shipping in winter. Cannot ship to Washington state due to USDA regulations.

    Jersey Highbush Blueberry Plant

    I ordered two different times because I was so pleased with my own blueberry starter plant that was very healthy, green and after putting into the ground is thriving in the acidic soil. The other two blueberry plants I gave as gifts to two of our neighbors and they loved the healthy starters and that they are self pollinating. Don't even need another one, but can choose if desired any variety and they will do well together. This seller is very reasonably priced including the shipping; no gouging the customer and I've gotten healthy plants that are still doiing well in the ground. I don't think you'll find a better deal unless it's from a free source off line.

    I bought 3 of this variety because it will do well in our area. The other two I gave as early Christmas gifts to my neighbors. All of the plants are healthy, green and well packaged. I planted mine right away after giving it a drink of water and allowing it to soak in a couple of minutes. The price is quite affordable and I feel like I got more value in a very healthy plant for my money and it arrived in a few days from placing orders. I will be a return customer. Thank you Hirt's Gardens for sending quality to this customer.

    I love how nice this starter plant arrived; healthy, green and no wilting of leaves. I planted it the next day and watered well. Looks great and placed a screen around it to protect it from rabbits. The price is quite reasonable and would make a great gift for neighbors who love fresh blueberries and the plant requires little maintenance. It is suggested to read a lot about the varieties before purchasing and this particular one does very well w/o having to get another plant as it is self pollinating. Though it will take approx. 3 years to produce berries, it will be worth the wait to get sweet rich antioxidant fresh fruit to pick. I've bought several small potted live plants from Hirt's and have not been disappointed. This is my favorite go to for live plants.
