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!

12 varieties - from early to late ripening seasons (June to September)
It is always recommended to plant at least 2 different blueberry varieties of similar seasons for best yields.

EARLY SEASON - DUKE,SWEETHEART, PATRIOT, REKA
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. It is the variety that won our nursery "taste test for sweetness" Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Sweetheart’ USDA Zones 3-8 2 gallon size only
PATRIOT is the largest early season blueberry, with ripe fruit starting in June. It is juicy, sweet - freezing exceptionally well and outstanding for baking and preserving. Bushes are a compact, rounded form (3-6 feet) and tolerate clay soil. Good also as a hedge, for container planting, and for backyard gardens. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Patriot’ USDA Zones 3-8 1 & 2 gallon sizes
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 & 2 gallon sizes
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 size only
MID SEASON – BLUECROP, BLUERAY
BLUECROP has light-blue berries that are large, sweet, mild, and firm with an excellent sweet/tart balance. Bushes are known for large clusters of berries and consistent high yields; they have open upright growth 4 – 6 feet tall. The hardy Bluecrop is disease-resistant and a favorite choice for backyard gardens and the U-Picks in the Willamette Valley . Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Bluecrop’ USDA Zones 4-8 1 gallon size only
BLUERAY produces an extra-large, sweet, firm, dark-blue berry of exceptional quality with a vibrant flavor. Bushes mature at about 4 to 6 feet and have a harvest that goes on for weeks! Blueray is an excellent pollinator for other blueberry varieties. Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blueray' USDA Zones 3-8 2 gallon size only
MID TO MID-LATE SEASON – BRIGITTA, JERSEY, BONUS, LEGACY, LIBERTY, CHANDLER, JERSEY
DWARF BURGUNDY
JERSEY is an heirloom classic, one of the most widely grown varieties in America. Berries are sweet and juicy, while staying firm and plump. The bush may become 6 to 8 feet tall and wide, so give it plenty of space. In return, it will give you an extra-large crop. Jersey is easy to grow in about all soil types - it is highly recommended for those new to growing blueberries. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Jersey’ USDA Zone 4-8 Available in mature bare root bushes or in 1 gallon size.
BRIGITTA is considered a “premium dessert” blueberry-very large and flavorful, a perfectly balanced taste of sweetness with just a slight tang. It is excellent for fresh eating, baking, preserves, or freezing. A bonus is its extra long harvest season-usually late July onwards, some years even into autumn. Because of their firm texture Brigittas have an amazing shelf life; they are said to keep their quality in the fridge for over a month. The hardy bushes stay around 4 to 6 feet tall. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Brigitta’ USDA Zones 4 - 8 Available in mature bare root bushes
LIBERTY berries are sweet and flavorful, detaching easily, so are easy to harvest, especially for little hands. The medium-large berries are good for baking, preserves and freezing. Liberty is a popular choice for home gardens because of high yields of berries that keep well in the refrigerator due to their firm texture. The bush may reach 6 feet or more. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Liberty’ USDA Zone 4-8 1 gallon size only
BONUS “The largest blueberry on the market” and “Fruit the size of a quarter”- this is how Bonus Blueberry is described. Berries are a pretty bright blue, juicy and extra sweet, excellent for fresh-eating, jams, and baking. Bushes grow 4 to 6 feet tall and keep a tidy rounded shape - extremely attractive in a backyard garden. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Bonus' USDA Zones 3-8 2 gallon size only
LEGACY produces large,sweet, aromatic fruit with an extended harvest time. It has exceptionally high yields and the fruit stores well. Bushes are vigorous and upright, maturing at about 6 feet tall and wide. People say they get so many berries that one Legacy is actually like having 1½ bushes! Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Legacy’ USDA Zones 5-8 2 gallon size only
CHANDLER produces exceptionally large, glossy, juicy and sweet berries; it rivals the Bonus variety for largest blueberry size. The berries are excellent eaten fresh, in smoothies, preserves & baked goods. The bush is robust, about 5 to 6 feet tall. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Chandler’ USDA Zone 4-8 1 gallon size only.

LATE SEASON – ELLIOTT, (& SWEETHEART'S LATE HARVEST)ELLIOTT is especially welcome as it ripens at the end of August and into the fall. The light blue berries are said to have a sweet but tangy flavor. The firm fruit will last a week in the refrigerator and it has excellent freezing quality. The 4 to 6 foot tall upright growth of this low-maintenance bush produces delicious fresh berries for weeks after other varieties have stopped.
