About Jersey
Jersey is an older northern highbush variety with vigorous upright growth and small to medium berries borne late in the season. It is valued for productivity and dependable performance rather than oversized fruit.
Growing Jersey Blueberry
Give it time to size up, because mature bushes become large and productive. Netting is often worthwhile, since late berries can attract sustained bird pressure.
