Climax Rabbiteye Blueberry is a vigorous upright deciduous shrub that produces a high production of early season large light blue blueberries.  The large elliptical powdery green foliage turns shades of orange-red in fall. The white flower clusters bloom in spring. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils.  Should be planted with others to cross-pollinate to increase yield.
