The 'Blueberry Tree' lives, folks.

I have a handful of nicely sized 6'-7' barked up specimens which I am currently propagating at our new Storefront.

Can't wait to make this available after all the years of efforts which have been invested to keep it alive.

Actually, I highly suspect that this is a Rabbit Eye blueberry.

Yes, you are correct.  Back when I first wrote this, I typically called any rabbiteye or highbush either a northern highbush or Southern highbush.  However, to be specific, I have since learned that rabbiteyes are merely a different type.  Which is even more intriguing, as rabbiteyes are not known to be self-fruitful like this one.

So, even better that this one is self-fruitful, and from the looks of it, it's seedlings are proving to keep the same resilience and growth habits.

I will be adding some updated photos of ones I'm growing in containers and how much intentional stress I've put some through.  These suckers are tough.
