The 'Blueray' produces large, firm berries with extra sweetness, making them great for fresh eating and baking. Fruit will ripen mid-July, and this variety will bear a larger crop when paired with other pollinators. Can get up to 6-8' tall and wide, but can be pruned in late winter to maintain a managable size. The 'Blueray' is a great pollinator for other varieties. Does best in organically rich soil.

Winter Red Winterberry. The 'Winter Red' produces clusters of red berries in the fall that persist into winter on bare stems. This variety will reach 6-8' tall and wide at maturity. Best berry set when pollinated by Southern Gentleman.
