Description
Takes The Cake Blueberry has a vigorous upright growth habit with dense foliage. It ripens early season, and produces consistently high yields. The berries of Takes The Cake are large in numbers and large in size. Plant along with other rabbiteye blueberry plants such as Climax, Alapaha, Premier, or Bless Your Heart, to mention just a few, as this will provide for cross pollination and will result in a substantially increased production rate.

Growing Preferences
Blueberry plants grow best in an acidic (pH of 4.8 to 5.2), organically rich, moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. The more sun the better for best berry production. The shallow, fibrous roots of blueberry plants like a consistently moist but well-drained soil which can be provided by with a layer of organic mulch. Although blueberries are self-fertile, cross-pollination produces the best fruit crop (larger berries and larger yields). Therefore it is best to plant more than one variety that will bloom at the same time. Blueberry season can be extended by planting early, mid-season and late varieties. Make sure to plant two different cultivars/varieties for each season. USDA Zones: 7b-10b Find Your Zone
