Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Pink Lemonade’, commonly known as the ‘Pink Lemonade’ blueberry, is a deciduous fruit shrub with an upright, slightly flared habit, prized for the unique color of its fruit and its ornamental value. In spring, it produces clusters of bell-shaped, pinkish-white flowers that are both melliferous and decorative. In summer, its berries change from green to pale pink, then to a deep pink when ripe, offering an original spectacle in the garden. The fruit is firm, juicy, and very sweet, with a mild, fruity flavor reminiscent of citrus. Its lustrous green foliage turns beautiful orange-red hues in autumn. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Pink Lemonade’ prefers acidic, organic-rich, and well-drained soil, and combines abundant production with distinctive visual appeal.
