Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
Cape fear blueberry
Another question is on some internet site they say that cape fear is a southern blueberry, Yet is is also listed as a 3 zone plant. I am in New hampshire between zon 4 and 5. Will it work?
Answer
Yes, the Cape Fear Blueberry should do great in New Hampshire. In most cases when a plant is listed with only one zone they are giving you the coldest zone the plant will tolerate rather than a range from coldest to warmest (e.g. Zone 3-7).
