Blueberry ‘Pink Lemonade’ is a tall, ornamental variety with unique bright pink berries that are sweet with a light citrus note, ripening in late summer. The variety is self-fertile, but yields increase with cross-pollination. It is very winter-hardy (down to –29 °C/–34 °C), disease-resistant, requires acidic soil and a sunny position, and is decorative throughout the season thanks to its attractive autumn foliage colour.
