To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Said by some to have the largest blueberries of them all, Berkeley is famous for its beautiful white flowers which are tinged with pink, and berries in pale powder blue.
Choose a spot in the garden with good drainage in full sun to partial shade. Blueberries are high in anti-oxidants and good for your health.
PLANTING DIRECTIONS: 1. Space plants 4 feet apart in rows that are 10 feet apart. Dig a hole two times the width of the root ball in good loose garden soil with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5 amending if necessary. 2. Remove the plant from packaging and lightly loosen the bottom of the root ball to release the roots as you set it in place in the hole. 3. Keep the top of the root ball even with soil surface and fill in around the roots. Lightly tamp dirt around your newly planted blueberry. 4. Water well and add additional soil if necessary and water again. 5. Extremely hardy plants, once establishes will produce a crop for many years.
