Rubel Blueberry Plant (2-Year-Old Bare Root) | Northern Highbush Variety | Early to Mid-Season | Hand Picked Nursery
The Rubel Blueberry Plant is a classic Northern Highbush variety known for its high sugar content, rich flavor, and exceptional cold tolerance. Fruiting in the early to mid-season, Rubel produces clusters of small to medium berries that are perfect for baking, jams, and preserves.
Our 2-year-old bare root Rubel plants are mature, healthy, and well-rooted, allowing for quick establishment and faster fruiting. Compact and easy to grow, Rubel adapts to a wide range of soil types and performs beautifully in both garden beds and landscape settings.
In addition to its delicious fruit, Rubel offers visual appeal with bright yellow wood and dense, rounded growth, making it a striking addition to edible gardens or decorative plantings. The shrub grows 3–5 feet tall and features brilliant red and orange tones in the fall. Bare root plants are approximately 18–24 inches tall upon arrival.
Cold-hardy and resilient, Rubel thrives in acidic, well-draining soil with full sun. It requires 800–1000 chill hours to set fruit and produces best when paired with other Northern Highbush varieties for cross-pollination.
