Consider O’Neal Blueberry if you’re looking for a plant that will fruit and do well over a wide climate range. The O’Neal is hardy to USDA zone 5 and higher, yet can fruit after only 400 chill hours—less worries for you the consumer as to how much fruit you will enjoy. The O’Neal is a Southern Highbush variety, and often considered as one with the best flavor as mentioned on Monrovia Grower’s web site. Besides the fruit spring into summer, enjoy nicely colored foliage in the autumn as it goes dormant. In milder climates the plant will remain more evergreen, only losing a portion of the foliage. To 5 feet or so in the edible landscape or clip to shape. Plant in rich soil that is slightly acidic and keep consistently moist. Consider use in a container if your soil is poor. Shipped potted in soil for best possible results when planted in yard or garden.
