Blueberry Pink Icing®

Blueberry Pink Icing® Our latest and quite possibly our best!!

Pink Icing® is a new dwarf Blueberry with breath-taking colourful foliage and dainty clusters of white bell-shaped flowers with shell pink overtones (with a faint fragrance) hanging below the branches in mid-spring. The fruit is large, mildly sweet, deep navy-coloured and juicy textured blueberries. 

In spring, the foliage has many shades of pink mixed with blue and deep greens. The leaves turn a stunning iridescent turquoise blue in winter. With a compact and round growth habit, plant this variety in a decorative pot or garden for year-round colour, beauty, and yummy blueberries in summer.

Pink Icing® will be ready for harvesting mid-summer. Although a dwarf variety in growing, it produces full-size berries. A 3-year-old plant can produce up to 1.8kg of fruit.

Pink Icing® is self-fertile, grows in full sun or part shade, and needs acidic, well-draining soil. Apply a good layer of mulch to help retain moisture and maintain an acidic soil. Fertilise in spring and early summer with an acid fertiliser. It does not require trimming but will tolerate being trimmed.
