Ask any Cara, this Highbush Blueberry has it all. This moderate-to low-growing bush produces very sweet berries and boasts distinctive blue-green foliage that sets it apart from other varieties of Highbush blueberry. Beyond the fruit, 'Cara's Choice' brings many things to the table, like lovely white flowers that bloom in spring and foliage that fills the branches in summer and turns to a lovely coppery-reddish hue with the arrival of fall. And in the late winter and early spring, as the buds are developing, they take on a reddish pink tone that adds a hopeful flush of color to a gray and brown landscape. (For bigger and better harvest, plant more than one kind of blueberry bush in a group.)
