Bushel and Berry® Silver Dollar® Blueberry Plant
Description
This unique blueberry is becoming very popular because its foliage resembles Eucalyptus. It also produces very large, sweet, pineapple flavored berries! The leaves have hints of silver throughout the spring and early summer. In the fall, its leaves turn a deep emerald green shade. The Silver Dollar™ would be a stunning show for a sunny patio or garden. Ripens in July and again in October. Self-pollinating. May be covered by USPP #32,184 or other patents. ‘ZF06-089’ cultivar.

Customer Reviews
We plan to prune it a bit this fall and will wait for it to start producing fruit in year three.
It has a good start and is going strong the past two years in the grow bag pot we have it in.
(Using a grow bag since we may move eventually and don't want to leave all this deliciousness behind when we go!)
I like small blue fruit
It was in stock, designed for containers 🫙
I was shopping for a blueberry bush that was compact enough to be grown in a container and could survive in Zone 10. Bingo!
