Blueberry Trio for the North

Shipped for Fall Planting

Highbush Blueberries are beautiful plants, with graceful upright structure and gray-green foliage that turns shades of burgundy or orange in fall. Pearly white flowers appear in spring, leading to a lush crop of the sweet fruit. We've selected varieties for areas of the country where temperatures drop below 45°F for at least five weeks. Plants are hardy and long-lived, asking only for a sunny spot with highly organic, acid soil (pH of 5.5 is ideal, so dig in some peat moss when planting, if you're in doubt) and top-dress with several inches of mulch to retain moisture.

Blueberries require cross-pollination to produce heavily, so we offer three varieties. 'Bluetta' will start the season with its medium-size, deep blue fruit. 'Blueray' is an early midseason variety whose large, powdery blue berries consistently rate high in taste tests. Lastly, but well worth the wait with the biggest berries (about the size of quarters), 'Bonus' is excellent for fresh eating. Our plants will fruit their second year and will really hit their stride in another year or two. Shipped as 3-year-old plants.
