Bushel and Berry® Silver Dollar® Blueberry Plant

Silver Dollar® Blueberry produces something genuinely unexpected from a blueberry plant: large, sweet berries with a distinctive pineapple flavor note that makes first-time tasters do a double take. The flavor is real and consistent, and it makes Silver Dollar® outstanding for fresh eating where the unusual character is the whole experience. Beyond the flavor, this compact Bushel and Berry® variety earns its patio spot with silver-tinted spring and early summer foliage that deepens to rich emerald green by fall, and two harvest windows, one in July and one in October, that extend the fresh blueberry season across a longer period than most varieties deliver. Self-pollinating, bears in 1–2 years.

Pineapple Flavor — The Blueberry That Surprises Everyone

The pineapple note isn’t subtle marketing language. Growers who taste Silver Dollar® at peak July or October ripeness consistently remark on a genuine tropical sweetness that’s unmistakably different from standard blueberry flavor. That distinctive quality makes it particularly fun to grow for anyone who loves unusual fruit experiences, and genuinely impressive to share fresh with guests who expect an ordinary blueberry.

Two Harvest Windows — July and October

Most blueberry varieties produce one concentrated harvest window of a few weeks. Silver Dollar® ripens twice: a mid-summer harvest in July and a fall harvest in October that extends the fresh blueberry season into autumn. For container gardeners who want blueberries as long as possible from a single compact plant, that two-harvest calendar is a meaningful practical advantage.

Silver Foliage, Eucalyptus-Like Leaves, Compact and Container-Ready

Silver Dollar®'s foliage is part of what makes it so striking as an ornamental plant. The leaves have hints of silver through spring and early summer before transitioning to rich emerald green in fall, with a rounded shape and texture that genuinely resembles eucalyptus foliage. The ultra-compact 2–3 foot habit makes it ideal for patios, balconies, and anywhere a full-sized blueberry bush won’t fit.
