Common Blueberry vs ThimbleberryVaccinium myrtilloides Rubus parviflorus NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
SAVE UP TO 45% 
Common Blueberry isn't as large, pretty, or high yielding as the other varieties we carry. But Common Blueberry is our only blueberry that will survive in plant hardiness zones 1A to 2B. So if you happen to live in one of these zones, this is the variety for you. Thimbleberry is an ornamental shrub with large, green maple-like-leaves. Flowers are attractive, fragrant, and turn into red-raspberry-like berries. The berries are good for jams, cakes, breads, muffins etc. If you remove the berry, the core resembles a thimble, giving this shrub its namesake. COMMON BLUEBERRY QUICK FACTSTHIMBLEBERRY QUICK FACTS
