Jubilee Blueberry Plant
Description
Jubilee Blueberry earns its place in the landscape through every season — not just at harvest. White bell-shaped spring blooms, powder-blue June berries, vivid red-to-purple fall foliage, and distinctive red stems that stand out through winter make it one of the most genuinely beautiful fruiting plants available. A Southern Highbush variety introduced in 1994, Jubilee is heat tolerant, low-chill, self-pollinating, and a consistent producer of premium firm berries in Zones 5–9.
Four Seasons of Visual Interest
Most fruiting plants offer one or two ornamental moments. Jubilee delivers four. In spring, attractive white bell-shaped blossoms cover the bush before the leaves fully emerge. Through June, the compact bush is loaded with premium powder-blue berries on upright branches. In fall, the foliage transitions to a striking red-to-purple display. And in winter, when most plants have nothing to offer, Jubilee’s red stems provide structure and color in the dormant landscape.
Premium, Long-Lasting Powder-Blue Berries
Jubilee is known for its premium berry quality and notably long shelf life. The medium-sized, firm, powder-blue berries hold up well after harvest — staying fresh longer than many varieties — making them outstanding for fresh eating over several days, baking, freezing, and preserving. June ripening puts them right at the peak of berry season.
Low Chill Hours — Built for Warmer Climates
With only 400–500 chill hours required, Jubilee is one of the more accessible Southern Highbush blueberries for warmer-climate growers. Its heat tolerance and low chill requirement make it a reliable performer in the South and other warm regions where higher-chill varieties struggle to produce consistently.
