Description

Bushel and Berry® BerryBux™ is a compact, ornamental blueberry that earns its place in the landscape on looks alone — then rewards you with fruit. Deep blue, nearly black berries with an intensely aromatic, wild blueberry-style flavor ripen in July, packed with antioxidants and sweetness. The glossy dark green foliage transitions to vivid reds, purples, and yellows in fall, making it one of the most genuinely four-season ornamental fruiting plants available. Compact, round, self-pollinating, and container-friendly in Zones 5–8.

Wild Blueberry Flavor in a Compact Landscape Shrub

BerryBux™ produces small, deep blue to nearly black berries with a flavor profile that sets them apart from most highbush varieties — intensely aromatic, sweet, and rich in the wild, complex way that smaller-fruited blueberries tend to be. They’re exceptionally high in antioxidants and outstanding for fresh eating, baking, and preserving. The compact, naturally round growth habit makes the plants easy to maintain and shape with minimal effort.

Four Seasons of Ornamental Beauty

Few fruiting plants give as much to the landscape year-round as BerryBux™. Spring brings pink and white blooms. Summer brings glossy dark green foliage and deepening blue-black berries. Fall delivers a stunning display of red, purple, and yellow foliage color that rivals dedicated ornamental shrubs. And the compact, rounded form provides clean landscape structure through winter.

Perfect for Containers, Hedges, and Accent Plantings

The naturally compact and round form — mature at just 2–3 feet — makes BerryBux™ exceptionally versatile in the landscape. Use it as a container blueberry on a patio or deck, as a low fruiting hedge along a border, or as a striking accent plant in a mixed bed. It shapes easily and stays tidy with minimal pruning.
