Good variety endures low temperatures.
Juliana R on Apr 27, 2017
It is on the Missouri Agricultural Extension's list of reliable cultivars for Missouri, and the big berries are easier to pick than smaller ones.

extra-large berries
RONALD M on Jul 5, 2016
I planted two Blueray bushes this year and immediately any tender growth was eaten. They are both now hanging on by a thread. We cannot figure out what is eating them. Are birds known to eat young blueberry bushes? We planted two Spartan bushes and do not have the same issue.
Geoff P on May 3, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I doubt that birds are eating your plants, rather I suspect some animal -- rabbits, deer, etc.

Blueray Blueberry
My Blueray Blueberries are doing well. I did not allow them to produce berries this year and may not next year. The important thing is to plant them well in plenty of good soil with peat moss and compost (the ph has to be low). I only used cottonseed meal 6-1-1 to start them off.

Hardy Blueberry
I bought a Blueray Blueberry last year to replace another variety that died during the previous winter. It didn't look like much until this spring. It survived nicely and has leaved out with a vengeance! Nice bush - Assuming the berries are tasty, I'd buy another.

Blue ray blueberry
The plant is growing well. It is planted along with other varieties of blueberries so it should produce tasty berries.

The bush is beginning to make quality fruit in its second year. The berries are perfect for fresh eating.

Good blueberry
I got fruit from this variety one year after planting. There was not much fruit and most where small in size. Hopefully the bust will grow some yet this fall since it has not grown much in a year.

Only starting year two. You know routine, sleep, creep and leap. I'm only on creep. Seems okay. Next year will tell the tail.
