Blueberry, ‘Razz’

The plump, powder-blue fruits, have a unique raspberry flavor overtone. It has a very distinctive flavor! They are excellent for fresh eating and culinary uses. ‘Razz’ Blueberries are a robust plant, growing 4-to 6’ tall. The plants are reliably and produce good yields of medium to large berries that ripen in midseason. This blueberry variety is ideal for home gardeners, specialty markets and U-pick operations that enjoy something unique. Grow in loose, acid soil in full sun. These bushes make an attractive ornamental, featuring striking orange-red fall. Like its siblings, Vaccinium Blueray and Bluecrop, Razz is the progeny of a cross between two USDA selections from early in the history of its blueberry breeding program. ‘Razz’ is not recommended for commercial growers.

Planting/Care Instructions +

Planting Instructions: Prefers an acid soil. In alkaline soil, add ammonium sulfate for best results. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the root meets the stem) is about 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Add generous amounts of peat but no fertilizer when planting. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Prepare the ground well before planting. Blueberries can also be grown in large pots and containers if ericaceous compost is used. Prune in winter, cutting out dead or damaged branches. In spring, feed with sulphate of ammonia, sulphate of potash, bonemeal and top-dress with ericaceous compost.

Pests or Diseases: No serious insect or disease problems.
