Becki Blue Rabbiteye Blueberry is a vigorous upright deciduous shrub that produces large quantities of large, sweet gray-blue blueberries that ripen early.  Its elliptical blue-green foliage turns shades of yellow or red in the fall.  The white flower clusters bloom in early spring.  Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils.  Becki Blue has low chill requirements.
