A superb blueberry for the home garden, 'Tift' bears an abundant crop year after year. Its large, firm berries have an incredible flavor and hold well on the vigorous, upright bush. Its fruit ripens in late June through July and is excellent for freezing, preserving, or simply eating fresh. Because it only requires 550-600 chill hours to set fruit, 'Tift' is ideal for southern gardens. 'Tift' needs another rabbiteye blueberry for cross-pollination - 'Climax' is recommended.
