My Hardiness Zone
?
The USDA hardiness zones offer a guide to varieties that will grow well in certain climates. Each zone corresponds to the minimum winter temperatures experienced in a given area. Make sure that your hardiness zone lies within the zone compatibility range of this variety before ordering.
Pollination
This variety is self pollinating.
In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You'll get fruit with only one plant!

Sharpblue Blueberry
The Sharpblue blueberry did very well here in Central FL. zone 9A. Even with an unusually warm winter with very few chill hours. I will likely be buying another to expand my crop. The service and shipping were great as well.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Came perfectly packaged.
Put in last November. Had nice growth before the season changed. And it's already putting out strong, healthy new growth.

Nice plants
Bought 2 of these. Received in fall. It's March and the plants are small and already have flowers and small fruits forming. They are working well on a shaded patio with limited sunlight. I move my plants do dappled shade during summer to prevent burning. So far so good.

disappointed
First of all I ordered two of these plants and was sent two different plants. One has really light green leaves, not sure what kind of blueberry plant it is. Second neither, especially the Sharpblue, is doing that well. They don't look diseased they just don't seem to be thriving despite preparing the soil and using the recommended fertilizer. I am disappointed. I will probably replace them with some plants I buy locally.
Again, because after researching it through the Florida University's information, and as a suggestion from Stark Bros as compatible to my zone 9. This plant is robust and is a perfect size for my yard…
This plant grows very well in this area.
Because it is viable up to Zone 10, and our supposedly Zone 9B is getting closer to Zone 10 every year!
