'Jersey' is a widely grown, heirloom Northern Highbush blueberry (introduced 1928) known for high yields of very sweet, medium-sized blue berries in late season. The 5–7 ft. shrubs are hardy (Zones 5–10), adaptable to various soils, and feature attractive orange/red fall foliage. They are self-fertile but benefit from cross-pollination.
