Blueberry Bush Ochlockonee - 1 Gallon

The Ochlockonee is a variety of rabbiteye blueberry known for its late-season harvest, vigorous growth, and high yields of large, flavorful berries. It was released by the University of Georgia in 2002.

• Late Ripening: Ochlockonee ripens late, typically in late June to early July, which can extend the blueberry harvest season.
• Large Berries: The berries are known for their size, often larger than other rabbiteye varieties.
• Good Flavor: The berries have a sweet and mildly tart flavor, making them suitable for fresh eating, baking, and preserving.
• Vigorous Growth: The plants are vigorous and upright, with a moderately narrow crown.
• High Yield: Ochlockonee is a very productive variety, exceeding the yield of the popular Tifblue.
• Firm Texture: The berries are firm, which makes them suitable for mechanical harvesting.
• Late Bloom: As a late-blooming variety, it is less susceptible to late frosts and freezes.
• Hardiness: Ochlockonee is hardy to temperatures as low as -10°F.
• Soil and Sun Requirements: Blueberries, including Ochlockonee, prefer well-drained, acidic soil (pH 4.5-5.5) and full sun.

• • Cross-Pollination: While partially self-fertile, it's recommended to plant other rabbiteye or Southern Highbush varieties nearby for cross-pollination.
