- Southern High Bush Blueberry
Posted by
sallyg (central Maryland - Zone 7b) on Jul 11, 2023 5:55 AM concerning plant:
I bought Avonblue in 1990 and as of 2023 it still bears well. Blueberries are virtually problem free in my central MD garden. Today I tried to find links about this variety and only found references to it being a parent variety of newer hybrids. It seems to be not out in the marketplace, and is not on the list of recommended blueberries from U Maryland.
