Tifblue (RE)

Tifblue is a Rabbiteye blueberry and the most cold-hardy of the rabbiteye varieties — reaching 2–3m tall and wide with potential for very heavy yields. White blossoms form mid to late September with ripe berries from Christmas. Attractive glossy green leaves turn burgundy in autumn. Berries are small to medium, tart unless fully ripened — worth waiting for full ripeness for best flavour. An excellent hedging or screening variety given its height and semi-evergreen habit. Requires cross-pollination with another Rabbiteye variety such as Centurion or Powderblue. Suitable for all NZ regions.
