Climax Blueberry Bush is the earliest ripening cultivar and the berries ripen in a short period of time. It produces medium to large sized fruit with as many as 100 per cluster. In order to produce fruit you need to plant more than one variety for cross-pollination. When planting this shrub, dig the hole twice as wide as the pot and mix rich garden soil in with your native soil, then leave the top of the root ball 1/2-inch above the ground level when filling the hole with soil. Use a slow release granular fertilizer in spring. Not guaranteed to be in bloom or have fruit on arrival. Ships Dormant in Winter.
