Vaccinium ashei 'Austin' ~ Austin Rabbiteye Blueberry greater-25ft-spread Leaf spot and root rotAustin Rabbiteye Blueberry is a large upright spreading deciduous shrub that produces large quantities of large sweet blueberries that flower late and ripen early. The elliptical blue green foliage turns shades of orange red in fall. The white flower clusters bloom later than other varieties in mid spring. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well drained soils. Austin should be planted with others to cross pollinate and increase yield.
