Midseason to late. Large, upright, and very vigorous. Not fussy as to soil type. Consistent producer of sweet, light blue fruit. Great for baking.

Jersey is an old variety that I chose to offer because it has done well for me at my most negilgent. Blueberries like water and mulch and the years that I forgot both, Jersey hung in. The berries are late and smaller than others I like, but they are sweet and plentiful and if I ever had time to bake anything, I'd use these. The bush is sturdy and grows to 6-8'. zones 4-7.
