Pink Lemonade Blueberry

Pink Lemonade Blueberry Plant

Pink Lemonade blueberries were developed in the 1970s by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But when researchers brought it to blueberry growers, they were convinced because of its distinctive yellowish-pink fruit that gardeners wouldn’t buy it, thinking it an unripe blueberry. If blueberry ‘Pink Lemonade’ was grown at all then, it was typically for its ornamental value as a late-season bush. 

Fast-forward to the 2000s: Growing research into the power of cancer-fighting antioxidants as well as the popularity of backyard gardens have gardeners looking for something new and different. That’s led to a surge in popularity of blueberry ‘Pink Lemonade’.
