Originally selected in 1976 by the USDA, ‘DeSoto’ is a short-statured Rabbiteye blueberry growing to around 5′ tall and 4′ wide. The berries are sweet, aromatic, and large. DeSoto was released by the United States Department of Agriculture-ARS in 2004; since it blooms very late, it is an excellent choice if your area has late spring frosts.
