Blueberry
Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium 'Blue Jay') is a small bush with glossy green leaves and white to pink bell-shaped flowers. It produces small, sweet-tasting fruit that turns a deep, rich blue-purple when ripe. It is native to North America and grows best in mild climates with ample humidity. Highbush blueberry is an excellent addition to gardens or yards, as it is both high-yielding and drought-resistant. Its fruits can be eaten fresh or used in baking, preserves, smoothies, and more.

Growing Environment

  • Soil Texture: Loamy Soil

    Balanced mix of sand, silt, and clay, well-draining but retains moisture, highly fertile.

  • pH Range: 6.6 - 7.3

    Optimal for a wide range of plants, nutrient availability is high.

  • Organic Matter: Moderate (2% - 4%)

    Adequate organic matter levels, common in well-managed agricultural soils.

  • Salinity Level: 2 - 4 (Slightly Saline)

    Mild salinity, some sensitive crops may start showing signs of stress.
    Impact: Sensitive plants like beans and carrots may experience reduced growth; tolerant plants generally unaffected.

  • Hardiness Zone: 6B (Min: -5°F, Max: 0°F)
  • Humidity: Moderate

    Comfortable for most plants; typical for temperate regions.
    Impact: Generally ideal for most crops and plants; supports healthy growth and development.

  • Water Requirement: 1 - 2 inches per week
