Product Overview
The Alapaha Rabbiteye Blueberry is an early‑ripening Southern favorite known for its dependable yields and excellent fruit quality. This variety produces medium to large berries with a sweet, traditional blueberry flavor that makes it ideal for fresh eating or baking. Its early harvest window helps jump‑start the season, making it a valuable addition to any home berry patch.
