Peach Sorbet Blueberry is a dwarf semi-evergreen shrub that produces abundant large sweet blueberries. Clusters of fragrant white flowers bloom in late spring before giving way to the berries that ripen to deep blue by mid summer. The foliage emerges a colorful range of peaches, pinks, and oranges before maturing to dusky blue-green in summer and turns a deep plum in fall and winter. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Peach Sorbet has a low recommended chill requirement of only 300 hours.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Medium Maintenance. Water regularly and mulch. Prune as needed in late winter. Chlorosis may occur in high PH soils. Blight, rot, anthracnose, canker, and mildew are occasional problems. Blueberry maggot, fruit worms, and spotted wing drosophila can damage the fruit. Mummy berry is a fungal disease that shrivels and dries the fruit- remove affected fruit immediately if spotted.
