We think of the category heirloom when we talk about older Tomatoes but ‘Rubel’ might be considered an heirloom highbush Blueberry. It’s a great old variety found in the wild in the early 1900’s and still grown commercially today with its outstanding high yield of small, tart, extremely flavorful berries that are considered the best of all the Blueberries for use in preserves and baking. Even better, ‘Rubel’ has nearly twice the level antioxident than all the other highbush Blueberries making it the most healthful variety, too!! ‘Rubel’, like all Bluberries, is easy to grow and extremely attractive, especially in the fall with its fiery red foliage and in the winter with bright yellow stems.
