Ochlockonee Blueberry (Vaccinium virgatum) – Rabbiteye Blueberry


Product Description

Buy Ochlockonee Blueberry plants for sale — a highly productive late-season rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium virgatum) known for its large berries, exceptional fruit quality, and extended harvest season. Developed in Georgia, Ochlockonee is prized for producing abundant crops of sweet, flavorful blueberries when many other varieties have already finished fruiting.

Ochlockonee produces large, firm, light blue berries with excellent flavor and a small picking scar, making them ideal for fresh eating, baking, freezing, jams, and preserves. Its late-season harvest helps extend blueberry production well into summer, making it an excellent addition to home orchards and edible landscapes.

In spring, the plant is covered with attractive white bell-shaped flowers that attract bees and other beneficial pollinators. Its vigorous growth habit and dependable production have made it one of the most popular late-season rabbiteye blueberry varieties in the Southeast.

Well adapted to North Florida, the Florida Panhandle, South Alabama, and other warm Southern climates, Ochlockonee thrives in acidic, well-drained soils and full sun. Its heat tolerance and reliable performance make it an outstanding choice for Southern blueberry growers.
