Blueberry Tifblue

Fruit Quality and Harvest Time

Tifblue blueberries are medium to large-sized with a firm texture and balanced sweet-tart flavor. The berries ripen late in the season, usually from December to January in New Zealand, extending your blueberry harvest period. Ideal for fresh eating, baking, or freezing.

Growing Conditions and Plant Size

This rabbiteye blueberry grows into a compact bush approximately 1.5 meters tall and wide. It thrives in well-drained, acidic soils (pH 4.5-5.5) and requires full sun for best fruit production. Tifblue adapts well to New Zealand’s climate, although frost protection during late spring may be needed in some regions.

Pollination and Care

Cross-pollination with other rabbiteye varieties such as Brightwell or Powder Blue is essential to maximise fruit set. Regular watering, mulching, and pruning in late winter promote healthy growth and improve yields. Use acid-loving plant fertiliser in early spring for best results.
