Misty Early Season Blueberry: Sweet Fruit with Low Chill Requirements

Misty Early Season Blueberry

The Misty Early Season Blueberry is a standout for gardeners in mild climates, requiring only 300 chill hours to produce abundant, sky-blue, medium-large berries that are exceptionally sweet. Fruit ripens early, from midsummer through fall, extending the harvest season. The attractive blue-green foliage remains evergreen in mild winters, while in colder regions it turns a brilliant red before dropping.
