Pink Icing™ Blueberry 180MM

Vaccinium corymbosum 'ZF06-079' Pink Icing blueberry

I am Pink Icing™ Blueberry. My family originated from North America.

Habit Shrub - Bushel and Berry®

Plant family Ericaceae

I am prized for my showy foliage and large edible robust flavoured berries. My spring foliage has many shades of pink mixed with blue and deep greens and turns a stunning iridescent turquoise blue in winter. I am a variety ideal in decorative pots or plant me out. I provide year-round colour and beauty. I am evergreen when planted in a warmer aspect and semi deciduous in cooler areas. I prefer acidic (low pH 4.5 to 5.5) soils or potting mixes (which might be labelled as also suited to Roses, Gardenia and Azaleas). For best fruiting I need 500 chill hours suiting me to areas south of Brisbane.

I am popular and will make you happy because...
