Description
A 1998 Mississippi State University – ARS/USDA release, the Biloxi Southern Highbush blueberry has a vigorous, upright and spreading bushy growth habit. It is recommended for low to no chill areas of 150 hours or less where it typically is fully evergreen. Biloxi is one of the earliest ripening Southern Highbush blueberries, and produces medium size fruit that is light blue in color, very firm, and has a small stem scar. Biloxi has a wonderful, distinct flavor, and is noted as one of the best tasting Southern Highbush varieties.
NOTE:Â All of our fruit plants are grown in containers outdoors so they are fully rooted and landscape-ready upon arrival.
Growing Preferences
Blueberry plants grow best in an acidic (pH of 4.8 to 5.2), organically rich, moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. The more sun the better for best berry production. The shallow, fibrous roots of blueberry plants like a consistently moist but well-drained soil which can be provided by with a layer of organic mulch. Although blueberries are self-fertile, cross-pollination produces the best fruit crop (larger berries and larger yields). Therefore it is best to plant more than one variety that will bloom at the same time. Blueberry season can be extended by planting early, mid-season and late varieties. Make sure to plant two different cultivars/varieties for each season. USDA Zones: 7b-10b  Find Your Zone
