Rabbit Eye Native Cultivars (developed to grow in the heat)

Brightwell: Rabbiteye Blueberry Variety — Berries are medium in size and blue in color, with small dry scars and good flavor. Plant growth is vigorous, upright, and produces enough new canes to renew the plant.

Climax: Rabbiteye Blueberry Variety — Upright open plants. Berries are large in size, medium-dark blue in color, have a small scar, and good flavor. Concentrated ripening period. Ripens May to early June.

Premier: Rabbiteye Blueberry Variety — ripens two to three weeks before Tifblue. Large fruit with good flavor. Plants are vigorous, upright, disease resistant, and productive.

Tifblue — Bush is vigorous and widely adapted. Fruit is large, round, light blue, sweet, very firm with a small, dry scar. Berries appear to be ripe several days before full flavor develops. Berries remain on the plant several days after fully ripe. Most productive of all rabbiteye varieties and is the standard to which rabbiteyes are compared. Ripens early June.

Powderblue — Plant is vigorous, disease-resistant, and productive. Ripens similar to Tifblue with better fruit color and more foliage. Resist cracking in periods of excess rain.

Pink Lemonade -- In springtime pinkish-white blooms develop into deep pink fruit ready for picking and eating at summer's end. They are just as delicious and rich in antioxidants as their blue cousins! Medium-size fruits with a mild, pleasant flavor and a high sugar content are perfect for fresh eating and baking. Self-pollinating. 

Bountiful Blue --  An award winning variety with the bluest of foliage! Pink-blushed flowers produce a big crop of large, sweet, juicy berries on a compact, mounded shrub. Perfect for hedges or planting in large tubs. Self-fertile, though planting with another variety may increase yields. 

Sharp Blue -  tend to be very dark blue in color, firm in texture, and sweet in taste.  Self-pollinating but will produce a better yield when planted with other highbush varieties such as Silver Dollar.

Silver Dollar - A unique blueberry with a sweet, pineapple flavor and foliage resembling Eucalyptus.  It produces sweet, pineapple flavored berries.  Self-pollinating but will produce a better yield when planted with other highbush varieties such as Sharp Blue.
