Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blueray'
Choose Blueray Blueberry if you want a productive mid-season blueberry that also looks tidy in the landscape. The tradeoff: it needs acidic, well-drained soil and better pollination support than a single shrub can provide.
Buy This If
You want large mid-season berries.
You can plant more than one variety.
Your soil is naturally acidic or amended.
Skip This If
You want fruit from one plant only.
Your site stays soggy after rain.
You will not protect from browsing.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
Blueray earns its keep with flowers, fruit, clean foliage, and fall color without looking out of place in a shrub border.
Growth Rate
B
It grows at a steady moderate pace, so it fills in reliably but is not an instant hedge.
Maintenance
B-
The main work is soil pH management, mulching, watering during dry spells, and occasional pruning for strong fruiting wood.
Deer Resistance
C-
Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
C+
It is manageable with pruning, but it is not the best pick for tight foundation corners or narrow beds.
Screening Value
C
It can add seasonal coverage, but it is deciduous and should not be counted on for privacy.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Blueray as part of a two- or three-variety blueberry planting, not as a lone shrub, because pollination and harvest timing matter.

Customers Usually Ask
Do I need another blueberry variety?
Yes, plant with another compatible blueberry for better fruit set and a longer harvest.
What soil does it need?
Acidic, well-drained soil is the key requirement; test before planting if unsure.
Will deer eat it?
They can browse blueberries, so use protection where deer pressure is regular.
Why Grow Your Own Edible Plants?
Fresh, Homegrown Flavor: Harvest fruits, berries, and herbs at peak ripeness—far fresher than store-bought options.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
