MBN 1Gal Blueberry 'Misty'

An early Southern hybrid variety of narrow, upright

habit and great vigor. Does well coastal or inland and has an

extended production season. Chill requirement may be as low as

150 hours. Prune heavily to remove old annual wood and lessen

overproduction. Commercial growers use trellises on this

variety. No real fall color, but this variety has wonderful,

very blue foliage. This variety did very well at a trial at the

Santa Clara County Ag Extension office. We have seen fruit ripen

in early February here on the Central Coast. The berries have a

rich blueberry flavor. Reluctant fall color, often evergreen in

mild winters. Better vigor in warm or hot-summer climates, this

is one that tends to struggle here in our almost-always cool

climate, in containers or in the ground. USDA

zone 4-9/Sunset zones 1-8,

14-17.
