2011 Blueberry Plant Information
Russell's Farm is happy to annouce the availability of eleven varietals of plants for sale. This year, we introduce a brand new plant - the Sweetheart. This exciting new blueberry plant will re-flower and re-fruit in a mild autumn for a second crop. The Sweetheart variety is the culmination of years of research by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. You can find more information about all plants in the table below, or stop by to learn more.
Currently we are selling several varietals in our nursery. Our potted plants, ranging from one to three years of age, are priced from $10 to $25. To find the right plants for your needs, look at the table below for more information on specific characteristics of each of these varietals. Please free to call us at (989) 781-2859, or e-mail emily@therussellcorp.com, if you have more questions on how to start your own backyard blueberry farm.
