Buy Beckyblue Blueberry plants for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida.

Beckyblue is a productive rabbiteye blueberry developed for warm Southern climates. This vigorous blueberry produces flavorful, light-blue berries during the early part of the rabbiteye harvest season. Its low chill requirement makes it a good choice for North Florida, the Florida Panhandle, and other areas along the Gulf Coast.

Beckyblue is a rabbiteye blueberry and needs another compatible rabbiteye variety blooming at the same time for dependable cross-pollination and heavier fruit production.

Plant Details:

  • Plant Type: Fruiting deciduous shrub
  • Botanical Name: Vaccinium virgatum ‘Beckyblue’
  • Also Known As: Vaccinium ashei ‘Beckyblue’
  • Blueberry Type: Rabbiteye
  • Mature Size: Approximately 6–10 feet tall and 4–8 feet wide
  • Growth Habit: Vigorous, upright, and spreading
  • Sun: Full sun
  • USDA Zones: 7–9
  • Chill Hours: Approximately 300–400 hours
  • Bloom Time: Early spring
  • Harvest Time: Early rabbiteye season; generally late spring to early summer in North Florida
  • Fruit: Medium to large, light-blue berries with a pleasantly sweet flavor
  • Pollination: Requires another compatible rabbiteye blueberry for good fruit production
  • Best Pollinator Partners: Climax, Premier, Austin, or another early-blooming rabbiteye blueberry
  • Soil: Moist, acidic, well-drained soil with a preferred pH of approximately 4.5–5.5
  • Water: Keep evenly moist, especially during flowering, fruit development, and establishment
  • Spacing: Approximately 5–6 feet apart for individual plants or 3–4 feet apart for a fruiting hedge
  • Landscape Uses: Home orchards, edible landscapes, fruiting hedges, wildlife gardens, and container growing while young

North Florida Growing Note: Beckyblue’s relatively low chill requirement makes it well suited to North Florida and the Florida Panhandle. Plant it in acidic, well-drained soil and provide consistent moisture without allowing the roots to remain waterlogged.

Pollination Note: Beckyblue should not be planted alone if fruit production is the goal. Plant at least one different early-blooming rabbiteye blueberry nearby. Southern highbush blueberries are not the preferred pollinators for rabbiteye varieties.
