Krewer Blueberry
The Krewer blueberry is a rabbiteye blueberry variety that was released in 2014 by the University of Georgia. It is named after Dr. Gerard Krewer, a pioneer in blueberry breeding and production.
Krewer blueberries are large and firm, with a sweet and tart flavor. They are known for their high yield potential and their ability to ripen early in the season. Krewer blueberries are also resistant to many pests and diseases, making them a good choice for home growers.
To plant a Krewer blueberry bush, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball of the plant and amend the soil with compost or manure. Place the plant in the hole and backfill with soil, tamping down gently to remove any air pockets. Water the plant well after planting.
Water your Krewer blueberry bush regularly, especially during the first year after planting. Fertilize the bush in spring with a balanced fertilizer. Prune the bush as needed to remove dead or diseased branches and to maintain its size and shape.
Krewer blueberries are typically ready to harvest in late May or early June. The berries can be eaten fresh, frozen, or canned. They are also good for making jams, jellies, and pies.
Here are some additional tips for growing Krewer blueberries:
- Space the bushes 6-8 feet apart.
- Mulch around the bushes to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Provide the bushes with a sturdy support structure to help support the weight of the fruit.
- Protect the bushes from winter damage in cold climates.
Krewer blueberries are a delicious and rewarding fruit to grow. With a little care and attention, you can enjoy fresh, homegrown blueberries for many years to come.
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.
