The Krewer Blueberry is a Southern highbush blueberry cultivar developed by the University of Georgia. Here are some key features of the Krewer Blueberry:

  1. Origin: The Krewer Blueberry was released by the University of Georgia in 2013. It is named after Dr. Gerard Krewer, a horticulturist and blueberry specialist at the University of Georgia.

  2. Fruit: Krewer Blueberries produce large, sweet, and flavorful berries. They have a pleasant balance of sweetness and acidity, making them ideal for fresh eating, baking, and making jams and preserves.

  3. Plant Type: Krewer Blueberries are deciduous shrubs that belong to the Vaccinium genus within the Ericaceae family. They are a Southern highbush blueberry variety, meaning they are adapted to the mild winters and hot summers of the southeastern United States.

  4. Hardiness: Krewer Blueberries are hardy in USDA zones 7-9, making them suitable for the southeastern United States and other regions with similar climates. They require a certain number of chill hours during the winter to produce fruit.

  5. Appearance: Krewer Blueberry plants have an upright growth habit and typically reach heights of 4 to 6 feet at maturity. They have attractive foliage that turns shades of red, orange, and yellow in the fall.

  6. Sunlight and Soil: Like other blueberry varieties, Krewer Blueberries thrive in full sun to partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil with a pH level between 4.5 and 5.5. They benefit from regular watering, especially during dry periods.

  7. Pollination: While Krewer Blueberries are technically self-pollinating, planting more than one blueberry variety nearby can help improve fruit set and yield. Cross-pollination with other blueberry cultivars can lead to better fruit production.

  8. Maintenance: Krewer Blueberries are relatively low-maintenance. Pruning can be done in late winter to early spring to remove dead or diseased branches and to shape the plant. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Overall, Krewer Blueberry is a popular choice among growers in the southeastern United States for its large, sweet berries, adaptability to the region's climate, and reliable performance. With proper care and maintenance, it can provide a bountiful harvest of delicious fruit year after year.
