A hybrid variety of the Rabbiteye Blueberry (tolerant of the heat and drought of the South),  Climax blueberry bush produces large, dark blueberries early (May or June) in the season. Blooming from February to early March, Climax will be covered in tiny white and pink flowers. Climax is not self pollinating and should be cross pollinated with Brightwell, Premier, Tifblue and Powder Blue varieties.

Pick a sunny place to plant. All berry plants need at least 6 hours of full sun to produce berries.  Keep consistently watered but not soaked for good berries; fertilize organically in early spring. Blueberries do best in an acidic soil with a pH balance of 4.5–5.5. Climax is not self pollinating and should be cross pollinated with Brightwell, Premier, Tifblue and Powderblue varieties. In winter, prune out any dead branches. Young plants will need minimum pruning. As the plant ages, prune out 1/3 of the older canes each year while the plant is dormant, leaving new branches to fruit the following season. Blueberries bloom and fruit on old wood, so be sure that you don't trim off too much of last season's branches or it will negatively impact fruiting. Grown best in hardy zones 7-9.

Deciduous. Climax matures at approximately 10-12' tall and 6-8' wide.

For pets, blueberries are a safe, healthy treat in moderation, packed with antioxidants and vitamins, but should be given plain, washed, and in small quantities. Unfortunately, deer like blueberry plants!
