Collection: Northern Highbush Blueberries

Northern Highbush blueberry plants

Compare Northern Highbush cultivars for colder-winter regions. This blueberry type generally has a higher chilling requirement than Southern Highbush, but exact chill hours, zones, harvest season, and plant form vary by cultivar; use the individual product page for the selection you are considering.

Pollination and harvest

Northern Highbush cultivars can often set fruit without a second variety. A compatible Northern Highbush cultivar with overlapping bloom can improve fruit set or berry size in suitable conditions. Ripening window and crop size vary with cultivar, weather, plant age, pollinator activity, and care.

Soil and planting

Blueberries need acidic, well-drained soil and consistent moisture without prolonged saturation. Test and amend the site for the target pH, or use an appropriately sized container and acidic growing medium where native soil is unsuitable.
