Size chart

The Vaccinium Ashei (V. Corymbosum x V. Ashei) - 'Powdered Blue' Blueberries, also called Powdered Blue Rabbiteye Blueberry are a mid to late season ripening, abundant producer and naturally heat tolerant variety. These shrubs produce medium-sized, sweet, juicy, light blue berries with a soft white dusting in the summer months. Bearing fruit within 2-3 years, this shrub has small white, bell-shaped blossoms that become color-changing berries. These berries start off pink then ripen into medium-sized, light blue, edible berries with a slightly thicker and waxier skin from June - July and produce fruit for over 50 years! Branches are adorned with oval shaped green leaves that turning shades of burgundy to orange in the fall.

This is not a self-pollinating shrub, it will need to be cross pollinated by other rabbiteye varieties like Premier, Tifblue or Brightwell.
