Blueray Blueberry Plant

Blueray Blueberry produces some of the largest, most aromatic, sweetest berries of any highbush variety — extra-large, light-blue fruit with a distinctive aroma and sweet flavor that have earned it devoted fans since its 1941 introduction. Eight decades of home gardeners keep coming back to Blueray because the berries simply deliver: heavy mid-July crops, crack-resistant skin that holds up through harvest and handling, and a flavor and fragrance that remind you why homegrown blueberries are worth growing. Pink blooms in spring, scarlet foliage in fall, and excellent cross-pollination compatibility that makes it an ideal companion for almost any other blueberry variety. Self-pollinating, cold-hardy, bears in 2–3 years.

Extra-Large and Aromatic — The Blueberry Flavor That Stands Out

The aroma is what Blueray growers consistently mention first — a pronounced, sweet, distinctly blueberry fragrance at peak July ripeness that large commercial varieties bred for shipping durability rarely deliver. The extra-large berry size means more of that aromatic, sweet fruit per handful, and the crack-resistant skin keeps the berries intact through picking and storage rather than splitting at the slightest pressure.

Introduced 1941 — 80+ Years of Proven Performance

Few blueberry varieties introduced in 1941 are still being actively grown, recommended, and sold eight decades later. Blueray’s longevity in the catalog reflects consistent performance that newer varieties haven’t displaced — reliable July crops, genuine flavor quality, and cold hardiness that Zone 3–8 home growers continue to trust year after year.

An Ideal Pollinator — Compatible With Most Varieties

Blueray’s mid-season bloom timing and broad genetic compatibility make it an excellent cross-pollinator for almost any other blueberry variety in the garden — boosting fruit set and berry size across the entire planting when used as a companion. For growers building a multi-variety blueberry planting, Blueray earns its spot twice: as a heavy-producing variety in its own right and as a reliable pollination contributor for its neighbors.
