Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Rebel Blueberry is an upright deciduous shrub with heavy production of large sweet and juicy berries that ripen in the early season.  The elliptical dark green foliage turns red to burgundy in fall. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils.  Rebel needs a cross-pollinator for best yield and has a low chill requirement of 400-450 hours.  Make sure to harvest in a timely manner, as the berries left too long on the bush after ripening will start to be come bland.
