Baldwin Rabbiteye Blueberry is a vigorous upright deciduous shrub that produces large quantities of medium-sized sweet dark blue blueberries that ripen late.  The elliptical blue-green foliage turns shades of yellow or red in the fall. The white flower clusters bloom later than other varieties in mid-spring. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Baldwin should be planted with others to cross-pollinate and increase yield.  Type:  Shrub Origins: Southeast N.
