Edible Qualities

Coville Blueberry is a medium-sized shrub that is typically grown for its edible qualities. It produces large clusters of blue round berries which are usually ready for picking in mid summer. The berries have a sweet taste and a juicy texture.

Planting and Growing

Coville Blueberry will grow to be about 5 feet tall at maturity | with a spread of 5 feet. It tends to be a little leggy | with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground | and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a fast rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years. This variety requires a different selection of the same species growing nearby in order to set fruit.

This shrub is typically grown in a designated area of the yard because of its mature size and spread. It does best in full sun to partial shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions | but will not tolerate standing water. It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have sandy | acidic soils to ensure success | and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the foliage in alkaline soils. It is quite intolerant of urban pollution | therefore inner city or urban streetside plantings are best avoided | and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selection of a native North American species.
