Northern highbush, midseason
Bluecrop is the most widely planted, mostly because it's so easy to grow with few problems. Vigorous, upright growth reaching 4-6' tall. Withstands spring frosts and high consistent yields. Medium-large light blue fruit is firm, crack resistant, with good sub-acid flavor. Good for eating fresh, preserves, baking, and freezing. Grows well in most areas, very hardy. Zones 4-7. (14+" transplant).
Blueberries are delicious, exceptionally nutritious, high in bioflavanoids. Gardeners in warmer climates can enjoy growing blueberries by choosing one of the Southern Highbush varieties. These require fewer chill hours than the Northern Highbush which require over 1000 hours. Consider climate suitability, ripening season and fruit size when selecting varieties and include at least two different varieties for cross-pollination and fruiting (any two varieties will do, regardless of ripening time). Grow in acidic, well-drained soil. Cottonseed meal is an excellent fertilizer for blueberries along with good quality compost. Sold as single, formerly potted, transplants. May not be dormant. Non-taxable.
