Titan Rabbiteye Blueberry is an upright spreading deciduous shrub with an outstanding production of very large, very sweet bright blue blueberries that ripen midseason. The elliptical medium green foliage turns glossy red in fall. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Titan is resistant to stem canker. Should be planted with others to cross-pollinate to increase yield.
