Jumbo, Flavorful Blueberries for Cooler Climates
The Top Shelf® Northern Highbush Blueberry sets a new standard for homegrown fruit. With jumbo-sized blueberries that are firm, flavorful, and sweet, this variety delivers exceptional quality for fresh snacking, baking, and preserving.
Developed by Fall Creek® Genetics™, Top Shelf® is known for its vigor, reliability, and outstanding performance. Its upright, vase-shaped habit produces high yields of large fruit that hold well after picking. The waxy, firm skin adds to storage longevity, making this variety ideal for both home growers and small farm harvests.
Thriving in cooler climates, Top Shelf® requires well-drained, acidic soils and full sun exposure for the best results. While partially self-fertile, it produces larger harvests when planted with a pollinator; The Legacy Highbush Blueberry is an excellent partner. With the right care, this variety will reward growers with reliable, abundant crops year after year.
Top Shelf® is cold-hardy, disease-resistant, and a low-maintenance choice for gardeners seeking delicious, high-yielding blueberries. Its sweet, firm berries live up to the name: always top shelf. Grow yours today!
Planting & Care
Planting instructions: Choose a location in full sun with well-drained, acidic soil (pH 4.5–5.5). Space plants 4–5 feet apart for proper airflow and allow room for growth. Incorporate organic matter like peat moss at planting to support healthy root development.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season and dry spells. Blueberries have shallow roots and benefit from mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Avoid waterlogging to protect root health.
Fertilization: Use a fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants in early spring and again after harvest. Annual soil testing ensures nutrient balance for optimal berry production.
Weed Control: Hand-pull weeds near the blueberry shrubs. You can damage the shallow root system with garden tools.
Pruning: Prune annually in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead or weak wood, thin out crowded branches, and encourage strong, new shoots.
Pollination: Top Shelf® is partially self-fertile but yields best when paired with another highbush variety like the Legacy Blueberry. Plant within 50 feet for cross-pollination to ensure larger harvests of high-quality berries.
