Select the size according to your budget & patience in waiting to pick your own fresh blueberries😊
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!

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
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 size (& just a few 2 gallon size)
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
TORO Large, sweet - juicy but firm - these sky blue berries are one of the best varieties for fresh eating as they have low acidity. Toro blueberries are easy to grow, also easy to pick as they grow in clusters. Toro bushes are compact and good for container growing; in the ground they mature 4 to 6 feet tall. Toro is an excellent variety for the home gardener. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Toro’ USDA Zones 3 / 4 – 7 / 8 1 gallon size only (about 10 are left)
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
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. Chandlers have an extra-long ripening season of up to 6 weeks starting in July, with consistently high yields. In 1994 they were developed nearby in Corvallis and are especially suited for our area. Chandler is our most asked-for blueberry variety. 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. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Elliott’ USDA Zones 3-8 1 and 2 gallon sizes
SWEETHEART has its second, lighter harvest in the fall. Please refer to Sweetheart's complete description under "Early Season" blueberries. 2 gallon size only
We are still attempting to source the late variety 'Pink Lemonade' for 2026 - No success yet, though. If available it will be listed on the 'Updates' page and this page - 1 gallon size only.
