Brightwell Blueberry (Vaccinium ashei 'Brightwell')
We purchased our first rabiteye blueberries about 20 years ago from the already existing nursery 'Digger O'Dell'. The one gallon plants where mostly 'Tifblue' or also known as 'Tiftblue'.
As pollinator we chose 'Woddard'. Yes, they do need a pollinator, so if not from us please purchase at least one more other rabbiteye for five of your favorite blueberry. Since than these beautiful plants have grown into gentle giants, 8-10 ft tall, weeping over the waters of our pond and of course that is where the most and biggest fruit appear.
So every July I get on my swim trunks and go picking blueberries into a tub floating in water, picture that. Brightwell is one of the most popular varieties. Tall and spreading growth. Produces large, firm fruit with little to no picking scar. Midseason variety, ripens early to mid June. Red to yellow fall color.
Zone 7-9.
