Description
Vaccinium padifolium The Madeira blueberry forms an evergreen to partially deciduous medium-growing shrub. The leaves display a pattern of finely-impressed veins which add to the overall ornamentation. The flowers are borne in racemes in early summer and are quite large for a blueberry. These are cream-yellow flushed with purple and quite showy and are followed by large blueberries oblong in shape. It is endemic to the subtropical islands of Madeira and Porto Santo, Portugal off the west coast of Africa. At this point in your perusal of this catalog you should be mumbling to yourself “What the?.?” However, we have had this growing outside in the garden for over 25 years with no issues regarding hardiness. One of my top 20 favorite blueberries and you know I really love me some Vaccinium. (0) RSBG
