Organic Blueberry Gupton (Ea)

Southern Highbush

• Zones: 6-10a
• Harvest: Early ripening
• Fruit: Berries are medium to medium large, light blue in color, and very sweet.
• Facts of note: This plant grows to 6′ at maturity, having a narrow, columnar shape. The habit is very upright and Gupton has strong branches, a very picturesque blueberry shrub. Other aspects noted in the southern growing zones is that the berries do not crack during wet weather at harvest time, and the flowering time is a bit later than other low-chill cultivars (helping Gupton to avoid frost damage to the blooms in late-frost pockets or valleys). Released in 2006 by the USDA-ARS in Poplarville, MS.
• Potted plant
• Certified Organic
