Description
This product cannot be shipped to California, Washington.
The Jewel Southern Highbush blueberry is a fast-growing variety that produces large, firm berries that require picking at the peak of their ripeness to fully appreciate their delicious, sweet flavor. This early-mid season variety was released by the University of Florida in 1998 and survives extremely well in commercial plantings. Jewel is partially self-fertile and grows up to 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide. Plant with another Southern Highbush variety for higher yields. Requires 200 chill hours and grows well in zones 6-10.

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).
