Vaccinium x 'Pink Lemonade'
General description: Pink Lemonade offers something unique in edible fruits. White translucent berries mature to a luscious bright pink and taste wonderfully sweet/tart with a firm, clear texture.
‘Pink Lemonade’ will produce farther south than many traditional blueberry cultivars. Berry color and flavor will attract both gourmet cooks and those seeking a culinary novelty.
