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)

A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined by average annual minimum winter temperatures, helping gardeners determine which plants can survive in their region. Developed by the USDA, the 13 numerical zones indicate cold hardiness—for example, a plant "hardy to zone 10" tolerates minimum temperatures of 30 to 40 °F (−1.1 to 4.4 °C).
