The blueberry’s native adaptation to both the soil and the climate of the Southeast makes it a productive fruit for Louisiana… and it’s a pretty tasty one as well!
Here are some helpful facts on blueberry plants:
Requires acidic soil.
Full sun throughout the day will help produce the best harvest.
Rabbiteye blueberries are shallow-rooted and need well-drained soils.
