Top Hat Blueberry
Blueberry Top Hat, Vaccinium 'Top Hat', makes an excellent decorative pot plant, producing white blossoms in the spring and attractive bronze autumn foliage. It is perfect for small spaces, containers and Bonsai. 'Top Hat' produces full size fruit on dwarf plants! Its plump berries are delicious in pies, muffins and jams. Ideal for the patio. This compact shrub produces masses of blueberries in July and August. Top Hat Blueberry simply has to be seen to be believed. Here is a beautiful, mound shaped, compact shrub that is loaded with so many flowers in spring it looks like a white-flowering heather, followed by hundreds of delicious full-size blueberry fruits that make it doubly decorative. Top Hat is also becoming a favorite of bonsai enthusiasts, since the plant so easily allows itself to be restricted in a bonsai dish and shaped into a decorative bonsai accent, even flowering and fruiting as a bonsai accent. Top Hat's small bell shaped flowers contrast beautifully with the leathery leaves during the spring and summer and are followed by edible round berries which turn purple when ripe to eat. Blueberries are extremely nutritious and have a high vitamin content.
