Blueberry 'Top Hat'
Vaccinium ‘Top Hat’ (Highbush Blueberry) is a dwarf-rounded deciduous shrub, with small oval fresh green leaves turning attractive shades of orange in the fall. In late spring, a profusion of white flowers give way to clusters of medium-sized, firm, dusky blue blueberries which ripen in mid-season (early-mid summer). Perfect for small gardens or containers. Top Hat is a self-pollinating blueberry variety, but it is recommended that more than one be planted to ensure maximum pollination and the largest fruit yields.
