Top Hat Blueberry is a dwarf rounded deciduous shrub with robust production of small sweet dark blue blueberries that ripen mid to late season. The small elliptical blue-green foliage turns brilliant red-orange in fall. The white flower clusters bloom in spring. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. While self fruiting Top Hat should be planted with others to cross-pollinate to increase yield.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Medium Maintenance. Water regularly and mulch. Prune as needed in late winter. Chlorosis may occur in high PH soils. Blight, rot, anthracnose, canker, and mildew are occasional problems. Blueberry maggot, fruit worms, and spotted wing drosophila can damage the fruit.
