Biloxi Blueberry is an ideal variety to grow in South East Queensland's sub-tropical climate. It is robust, self-fertile, and produces a good crop of large, sweet, juicy berries.
It's an ideal choice for the novice gardener and for those wishing to grow their fruit trees in pots. Blueberries make a good choice for those keen to involve their children in gardening as they provide fruit quickly and they are a hardy plant.
Blueberries with a low-chill requirement (like Biloxi) grow well in coastal areas and although the grow best in full sun they will also tolerate part shade. Regular watering is required.
