‘Jersey’ Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Jersey’) is a classic, late-season blueberry variety valued for its dependable yields, strong cold hardiness, and exceptional adaptability. One of the oldest cultivated highbush blueberries, ‘Jersey’ performs reliably in Hudson Valley and New York landscapes, extending the blueberry harvest season while providing excellent ornamental value.
In late spring, ‘Jersey’ produces clusters of white, bell-shaped flowers that attract native pollinators. These mature into abundant crops of medium-sized, dark blue berries that ripen from mid to late summer. The fruit has a rich, traditional blueberry flavor and is excellent for fresh eating, baking, and preserving. Through summer, plants maintain a vigorous, upright habit with deep green foliage that turns vibrant shades of red, orange, and burgundy in fall.
Well suited to Hudson Valley residential landscapes, ‘Jersey’ Highbush Blueberry thrives in full sun to part shade and requires acidic, well-drained soil for best performance. It works beautifully in edible hedgerows, mixed ornamental borders, and naturalized plantings. For optimal fruit production, plant alongside other highbush blueberry varieties to ensure strong cross-pollination and extended harvests.
