Description

Blueray (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blueray')

Blueray is an old favorite, known for its high quality, large, powder blue berries with outstanding dessert flavor! This mid-season variety produces some of the most flavorful fruit of any highbush blueberry, making it a top choice for fresh eating. Blueray is also noted for its striking pink blooms, which transition to white, adding ornamental value to the garden.

Key Characteristics:

  • Exceptional Flavor: Blueray’s large, flavorful berries are perfect for fresh eating, desserts, and preserves.
  • Ornamental Value: Beautiful pink and white blossoms in spring provide visual interest.
  • High Yield: Known for consistent high yields, Blueray is a reliable producer for home gardens and small farms.
  • Cold Winter, Hot Summer: Performs particularly well in areas with very cold winters and hot summers.

Product Details:

  • Mature Height: 4-6 feet
  • Fruit Time: Early to mid-season 
  • Fruit Qualities: Large, sweet berries, firm texture
  • Chill Hours: 800-1000 hours
  • Pollination Partners: Best pollinated by Bluecrop, Jersey, or Patriot.
  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 4-7

Blueberries are a valuable addition to fruit tree guilds in permaculture systems. Positioned in the shrub layer, they benefit from the shade and protection of larger trees while providing ground-level diversity. Their flowers attract pollinators, and their roots help with moisture retention, enhancing the overall health and productivity of the guild. Their nutrient-dense berries offer a reliable food source, complementing the fruit production of the larger trees.

Northern highbush blueberries are best suited for cooler climates, thriving in USDA zones 4-7. These plants require well-drained, acidic soil (pH 4.5-5.5) and full sun for optimal fruit production. Blueberries benefit from mulch to retain moisture, prevent weeds, and protect shallow roots. Consistent watering is essential, especially during fruiting. Blueberries are self-fertile but cross-pollination increases the overall yield, improves the size and quality of the berries, and leads to a more abundant harvest. Add organic compost or sulfur to the soil to maintain its acidity. Regular pruning encourages healthy growth and more abundant fruiting.
