Southern Highbush blueberry plants

What are Southern Highbush blueberry plants?

Southern Highbush blueberry plants are modern varieties that have been specially developed for warmer climates and areas with milder winters. Unlike traditional Northern Highbush varieties, Southern Highbush varieties have lower cold hour requirements, which means they flower earlier, get off to a faster start, and are ideal for southern regions in Europe and the rest of the world.

These breeds are known for:

• Early ripening
• Excellent flavor and firm berries
• High productivity
• High heat tolerance
• Suitability for pot cultivation and tunnel systems

Southern Highbush is also referred to as:

• SHB varieties
• Heat-resistant blueberries
• Low chill blueberries

At Schrijnwerkers Plants, we offer a growing range of Southern Highbush varieties that are suitable for professional growers who focus on earliness, quality, and reliable production in warmer regions or in protected cultivation.
