- Color‑forward foliage—new growth emerges a delectable icy rose on pink stems, then matures to multicolored greens.
- Big harvest on a compact plant: large, plump berries on a tidy 3–4 ft. shrub fit borders, beds, and patio planters.
- Early season fruiting with showy white spring bloom for ornamental and edible appeal.
- Reliable across Zones 5–9; recommended chill around 800 hours (testing may refine for lower chill regions).
Bountiful Belle Blueberry (Vaccinium x ‘FC10‑076’, PPAF) pairs landscape‑worthy, color‑shifting foliage with delicious, early crops. Its icy‑rose new growth and compact 3–4 ft. size make it effortless to tuck into ornamental beds, edible borders, and large containers. Provide rich, acidic, well‑drained soil and consistent moisture; in very hot, arid summers, offer brief afternoon relief from harsh, reflected sun. Prune after harvest to keep the silhouette full and fruiting strong.
Plant Description
A compact, deciduous blueberry selected for vibrant foliage and generous, early‑season production. New leaves flush icy rose on pink stems before maturing to multicolored greens; spring brings white bell‑shaped flowers followed by large, plump berries.
Fruit & Flavor
Produces large, plump blueberries suitable for fresh eating, baking, and freezing. Early season fruiting extends the harvest window when combined with mid/late‑season varieties in the garden.
Habit & Size
Naturally rounded, space‑saving habit reaches approximately 3 to 4 ft. tall and wide—ideal for borders, foundation beds, and container gardens.
Chill Hours
Recommended chill requirement is about 800 hours; lower chill performance is under evaluation and may be refined with further testing.
Bloom & Pollinators
White spring blossoms attract pollinators. While a single plant can produce, mixing early, mid, and late blueberries nearby can broaden picking windows and garden interest.
Sun & Exposure
Full sun for best flowering and fruit set. In extremely hot, arid summer regions, provide light afternoon protection from harsh, reflected sun to preserve foliage quality and reduce stress.
Water & Soil
Keep soil evenly moist (not waterlogged). Grow in rich, acidic, well‑drained soil; amend with organic matter and maintain a slightly acidic pH typical for blueberries.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 5–9; deciduous. Consistent winter chill supports reliable bloom and fruiting.
Pruning & Maintenance
Prune lightly to shape after harvest. Remove weak or crossing wood and thin older stems over time to maintain vigor and airflow.
Landscape Uses
Edible borders, mixed shrub beds, and large containers where its compact form, colorful foliage, and spring bloom deliver four‑season appeal with summer harvests.
Planting Tips
Plant at or slightly above grade in well‑drained soil; water deeply and regularly the first season to establish an extensive root system. Mulch with acidic organic materials to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature.
Care Notes for Hot/Dry Climates
In hot, arid summers, avoid highly reflective exposures and ensure consistent irrigation; brief afternoon shade can reduce leaf scorch without compromising fruiting.
