The Bushel & Berry Buckle Blueberry not only offers flavorsome berries but also features lovely foliage and flowers for high ornamental appeal. Botanically called, Vaccinium myrsinites x corymbosum 'Corablue', this blueberry has a compact habit and produces attractive white flowers in spring before fruiting later in the year. A mature height of 2 to 3 feet tall makes it a winner for every garden no matter the size.
The Bushel & Berry Buckle Blueberry is fast-growing and forms a compact mound of dark green foliage reminiscent of a boxwood. Come fall, the leaves take on a purple tone, extending the season of interest. It is suitable for growing in zones 6 to 10 and drought tolerant, making it a great choice for southern parts. Bushel & Berry Buckle is also ideal for growing in a container or tight space.
Bushel & Berry Buckle Blueberry Care
Full sun is needed for the Bushel & Berry Buckle Blueberry to thrive and produce a tasty crop come summer. It favors acidic, fertile, moist and well-drained soil for optimum growth. Water regularly until established and from then on when fruiting, using harvested rainwater where possible. Feed in spring with an acidic slow-release fertilizer.
Minimal pruning is required as the Bushel & Berry Buckle Blueberry naturally remains compact and tidy. However, you can prune lightly and remove any dead wood in winter when the shrub is dormant. Container-grown specimens will require more frequent watering to keep the soil moist over the summer.
Bushel & Berry Buckle Blueberry Spacing
The Bushel & Berry Buckle Blueberry grows to a final size of 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Multiple shrubs can be planted at a spacing of 3 to 4 feet apart to allow room for maturity.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
