Bluberries
Alapaha blueberries (Vaccinium ashei) are a popular Rabbiteye blueberry variety known for their sweet, flavorful fruit and vigorous growth. These blueberries are particularly well-suited for the warm, humid climate of Georgia and other southeastern U.S. regions, making them an excellent choice for both home gardeners and commercial growers. Alapaha blueberries produce medium-sized berries with a pleasant sweetness and are prized for their consistent yields. The plants are hardy and disease-resistant, growing to about 4 to 5 feet in height, and they have a compact growth habit that makes them ideal for smaller spaces. With a relatively early harvest time in the summer, Alapaha blueberries are perfect for fresh eating, jams, jellies, and baking. Additionally, like other Rabbiteye varieties, they benefit from cross-pollination, so planting with another variety like Tifblue or Climax will help improve yield and fruit size.
Brightwell blueberries (Vaccinium ashei) are a highly regarded variety of Rabbiteye blueberries known for their early-season harvest and high productivity. This variety produces medium-sized, sweet, and flavorful berries, making them a favorite for both home gardeners and commercial growers.

The plants are vigorous and can grow up to 5 feet tall, with a compact growth habit that makes them suitable for smaller spaces. Their resistance to common blueberry diseases and pests adds to their appeal, making them relatively easy to maintain. Like most Rabbiteye varieties, Brightwell blueberries require cross-pollination with another variety, such as Tifblue or Climax, to ensure optimal fruit yield and size. These blueberries are perfect for fresh eating, preserving, and baking, and their early ripening helps extend the blueberry season.
