Vaccinium 'Top Hat' is a favorite with our landscape designer because it is a small rounded shrub that is highly ornamental and produces delicious fruit as well. A few other attractions are its foliage which turns red in the fall and its waxy white bell-flowers. It is a cross between a highbush blueberry (V. corymbosum) and a lowbush blueberry (V. angustifolium) and has inherited its short size from the latter. For those that lack garden space, grow it in a container and enjoy the fact that its compact habit does not deter it from producing lots of berries.
