Ninebark vs Lowbush Blueberry
Physocarpus opulifolius
Vaccinium angustifolium
ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
Ninebark is a small, multi-stemmed shrub, that is used to add texture or colour to any yard.
It features flaky, cinnamon-brown bark, attractive white flowers, and long, maple-like leaves.
Lowbush Blueberry, commonly known as the Wild Lowbush Blueberry, is often wild-harvested and thrives in low pH acidic soil. This early low-bush blueberry produces white and pink bell-shaped flowers in the spring. Its fruit is smaller in size than high bush blueberry plants and is more flavourful with an intense blueberry taste-masking it perfect for fresh eating, baking, and preserves.
Note: Blueberries require very specific soil conditions. They need well-drained soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.0. If the starting pH of your soil is between 5.1 and 6.2 you can lower it by adding sulfur. We recommend against planting blueberries in soil with a starting pH greater than 6.2. Please do your own research before buying any blueberry plants.
