Another small space wonder, 'Polaris' will thrill with its tight form, heavy producing ability and sweet, sweet berry taste. 'Polaris' is known as a 'half-high' type of Blueberry, combining the denseness of lowbush selections with the fruit size and larger berry yeilds of the highbush selections. The result is a plant that will cover itself with fragrant, white, bell shaped flowers in early May and with medium sized, powder blue, aromatic, extremely sweet tasting fruit in late July and early August. It is one of the earliest maturing of the Blueberries meaning that you might have to fight off more than the birds for its sweet fruit as hungry family members will be looking to outwit you for their year's first taste of fresh Blueberries! 'Polaris' is such a low maintenance plant and will even reward you and your garden with brilliant orange-red fall foliage color!
