Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Onslow Rabbiteye Blueberry is an upright-spreading deciduous shrub that produces large, medium blue blueberries that ripen mid-late season that resists cracking.  The elliptical blue-green foliage turns a bright scarlet red in the fall. The white flower clusters bloom in early spring before giving way to the berries that are ready for harvest in early to mid summer.  Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils.  Onslow is self-pollinating and is recommended for commercial use, and requires 500-600 chill hours.  Also a good polinator choice for 'Tiftblue' or 'Powderblue' varieties. 

Previously sold as Vaccinium ashei 'Onslow'.
