Cutie Pie Blueberry is a dwarf deciduous shrub with a compact, container-friendly size and an extended season of edible fruits. The small dark green foliage has attractive fall colors that holds on longer in mild winters. Cutie Pie is a profuse bloomer with dense clusters of white flowers that turn to a good yield of small but sweet dark blue berries. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. While self fertile(doesn't need cross pollinator), can cross pollinate between rabbiteye or southern highbush cultivars to increase yield. Moderate chill requirements of 400-500 hours.

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.
