High Bush Blueberry : TOP SHELF 2 year old, 2 litre pot
$25.95
(Vaccinium corybosum)
Top Shelf is the new, premium, preferred, mid-season blueberry for both commercial and backyard growers. While similar to the highly respected Draper in many ways, Top Shelf excels in plant vigour, fruit size, and flavour. The jumbo-size, sky-blue berries have an appealing flavour which has been described as 'slightly tropical'. Strong, vase-shaped plants bear heavy yields of stellar quality fruit at a young age.

Growing Tips
Everyone would love to grow blue berries. You do need to be aware though that blueberries will be more judgmental of your soil than most plants. In some areas of the country (PEI for instance) the soil is naturally acidic, meaning it has a pH of 4.0-5.5. This is exactly what blueberries like. Here in southern Ontario our soil pH is more like 7.0-7.8. In these alkaline type soils some plants such as lingonberries and blueberries find it hard to access the nutrients that are in the soil. Amending the planting site with peat moss and/or using our Blueberry Booster product is recommended.
Every Whiffletree plant order includes a copy of our 'Planting For Success' guide. Check out the Blueberry section for suggestions.
