Homeowner Growing & Maintenance

Blueberries flower and fruit best in full sun, although they will tolerate partial shade. Remove flowers the first year to allow more of the plants energy to go to root development. Soil PH must be between 4 and 5.5 and contain a lot of organic matter. To give your plant the best start possible, we include free fertilizer with every order.

Interesting Notes

Brigitta has large sweet/tart fruit that is produced late in the season. Blueberries are rich in Vitamin C, manganese and are high in antioxidants. Best production when planted with another variety. Plant early,mid and late season varieties for several months of production.
