Description
This product cannot be shipped to California, Washington.
The Austin Blueberry Plant is a newer variety developed by Dr. Brightwell's successor, Dr. Max Austin of the University of Georgia. The Austin Blueberry is a very early variety that is excellent for use as a cross pollinator with Climax. The fruit is also of good quality. Its production level is as high or even higher than Climax, so expect to see many acres of Austin blueberries being planted in upcoming years. (Zones 6b - 9)

Zones
USDA Hardiness Zones
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants. In some systems other statistics are included in the calculations. The original and most widely used system, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a rough guide for landscaping and gardening, defines 13 zones by long-term average annual extreme minimum temperatures. It has been adapted by and to other countries (such as Canada) in various forms. A plant may be described as "hardy to zone 10": this means that the plant can withstand a minimum temperature of −1.1 to 4.4 °C (30 to 40 °F).
