Vaccinium corymbosum Biloxi Blueberry

Vaccinium corymbosum Biloxi Blueberry is an excellent choice for warmer climates, requiring very few chill hours to produce fruit. It is often one of the first blueberry varieties to ripen, with harvest beginning a few weeks earlier than other early-season varieties. The berries are light blue, medium-sized, firm, and sweet, making them ideal for fresh eating or use in pies, tarts, jams, and preserves. Although Biloxi produces its main crop early in the season, it can sometimes provide a smaller second harvest later on, with the first crop typically being the most abundant. This vigorous variety is both heat and disease-resistant, making it well-suited to warmer regions. For the best pollination and improved berry production, plant Biloxi alongside other southern highbush blueberry varieties like Rabbiteyes.
