Alice Blue Rabbiteye Blueberry is a vigorous spreading bushy deciduous shrub that produces sweet medium-sized blueberries that ripen early. The elliptical blue-green foliage turns shades of yellow or orange in the fall. The white flower clusters bloom later than other varieties in mid-spring. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Alice Blue should be planted with others to cross-pollinate and increase yield.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
