Vernon Blueberry bushes are a Rabbiteye cultivar, which is more tolerant to drought and less susceptible to Phytophthora root rot. Flowering in late spring, Vernon is less susceptible to late winter/early spring freezes.

Rabbiteye varieties require cross-pollination from another Rabbiteye cultivar such as 'Bonita'.

Vernon's fruit size is large, with good yields and the plant has excellent growing vigor.
