Make your landscape as delicious as it is beautiful with the Becki Blue Blueberry. This Rabbiteye variety is known as Vaccinium ashei ‘Becky Blue.’ It is an upright branching plant that is low-maintenance and provides an abundant harvest. White and pink blooms emerge in early spring and give way to fruit ready to be picked mid-spring to early summer. This plant grows as a perennial in USDA zones 6 through 9.

The Becki Blue Blueberry is a large plant that can be 6 to 10 feet tall. This plant is deciduous and will drop its foliage during the winter when it is dormant. As a fruit-bearing shrub, this plant will attract butterflies and birds. In this instance, birds can be a nuisance since they may eat berries, so monitor the crop and pick when the fruit is fully ripe. Plant the Becki Blue Blueberry in a hedge with other varieties.

Becki Blue Blueberry Plant Care

The Becki Blue Blueberry requires full sun. Blueberries need rich soil high in organic matter. The soil should also be acidic and have a pH of 4.5 to 5.2. Water when the top few inches of the soil is dry and place mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture. Do not feed the plant the first year it is planted, and use a slow-release acidic fertilizer in early spring before buds appear and again during late spring.

Remove lower branches as necessary to keep fruit from touching the ground. Trim away shoots to direct energy into the plant and fruit production. Prune dead growth in the fall when the plant is dormant. Blueberry plants need to be cross-pollinated and require other varieties nearby to produce fruit. Plant the Becki Blue Blueberry near at least 2 different varieties of blueberry at least 6 feet apart to promote cross-pollination.

Becki Blue Blueberry Plant Spacing

The Becki Blue Blueberry can be 6 to 10 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Plant in an area where the shrub will receive plenty of sunlight, but the plant will not block other plants. Space plants 10 to 12 feet apart, so it is easy to move around the plant when picking berries. Create a dense hedge by spacing plants 6 feet apart.
