Planted potted plant.
Meredith79 - New Hampshire (Zone 5b) On Jun 1, 2015 Miscellaneous Event
Mid Season Planted 2015 Named after Elizabeth White, one of the early blueberry researchers. Elizabeth has the flavor everyone loves. The balance of sweetness and tartness cannot be duplicated by any other variety. Berries ripen during midseason; the fruits are medium size and are recommended for u-pick and local fresh markets only. Grown successfully in zones 5-7.
