Our two gallon size blueberry bushes should fruit the 1st or 2nd year after planting. Bushes have a good base structure so you usually don't have to do trimming for at least the first few years. (They have been professionally pruned to bush out.) The 2 gallon size bush is an excellent choice for those new to growing blueberries and for people anxious to harvest their own fresh blueberries sooner!
EARLY SEASON - DUKE,SWEETHEART, REKA
REKA blueberries ripen early in the season. Dark blue berries have a rich sweet flavor and pleasing aroma. Reka bushes mature at 4 to 6 feet high and produce plentiful yields of medium size berries. They are vigorous, adaptable, and will tolerate clay or sandy soil. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Reka’ USDA zones 4-7 1 gallon pot size $10
DUKE has light-blue berries with a balanced sweet/tart flavor; the firm berries keep very well. Bushes have strong upright growth 4 to 6 feet tall. Duke blooms late but ripens berries early, protecting buds from unexpected spring frosts. Duke is a proven consistent producer of abundant, quality crops. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Duke’ USDA Zones 4-8 1 gallon pot $10 or 2 gallon size ON SPECIAL $20! (Reg. $30)
SWEETHEART is the only blueberry that fruits twice a year - early summer, again in fall. The deep blue juicy berries are known for being sweet,aromatic, with firm texture. Bushes grow 5-6 ft tall.

MID SEASON – HEIRLOOM OLYMPIA, BLUECROP, TORO, BLUERAY, POLARIS, BLUEGOLD, MINI-BLUES
MINI-BLUES - Firm, bright blue berries with a high sugar content, Mini Blues are the #1 choice for baking -due to their intense flavor that is almost like wild blueberries. A seeding found in Corvallis in 1999, Mini Blues was developed by Oregon State University as a high-yielding bush, when mature producing 12 to 20 pounds of small sweet/tart berries. The 5 to 6 foot tall bushes are orderly and make a good hedge or border. Mini Blues - the best choice for pies, cobblers, or muffins! Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Mini Blues’ USDA Zones 4-8
MINI BLUES 2 gallon size HALF PRICE!! $15 (Reg. $30) or a multiple discount of 10 for $100
POLARIS has a balanced “sweet but slightly tart” flavor that makes it exceptional in pies, tarts and cobblers. Firm and crisp, the light blue berries have a higher natural pectin level – so they are also favored for jams and preserves. The compact bush stays about 3 to 4 ft tall. Because of its cold hardiness, Polaris Blueberry is named after the North Star. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Polaris’ USDA Zones 3-7

Olympia has beautiful orange and red fall leaf colors and a high tolerance for clay soil. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Olympia’ USDA Zones 5 – 8 1 gallon pot size $10
