Vaccinium caesariense
Also called New Jersey Highbush Blueberry
New Jersey blueberry is a deciduous shrub in the genus Vaccinium, grown commercially for its edible berries, and it does best in acidic soil with steady moisture until established.
Vaccinium caesariense (New Jersey blueberry) is a Vaccinium species native to the Eastern United States.
In commercial cultivation of Vaccinium caesariense, they are usually planted at the beginning of fall or the end of winter, with organic fertilizers such as manure compost and vermicompost. As the plants develop woody stems irrigation is only needed during very dry periods. The cultivated plants are grown in soil that is accommodating to acidophilic plants.
New Jersey has developed environmental and agricultural programs to protect and develop the New Jersey blueberry, such as the Blueberry Plant Certification Program and the Phillip E. Marucci Center for Blueberry & Cranberry Research & Extension.
Vaccinium caesariense is native to the Eastern United States, and is especially prominent in the New Jersey area. It is found in the coastal states from Florida to New Hampshire, almost always in wetlands. Some of its native habitats include pine barrens, upland meadows and woods, ravines, and mountain summits.
