EARLY SEASON RIPENING

$20 SWEETHEART is the only re-fruiting blueberry. It gives two crops each year - early summer and again in fall. The deep blue juicy berries are known for being aromatic, with firm texture and a sweet flavor. (The name “Sweetheart” is because the berries are heart-shaped.) The Sweetheart bush is native to North America - easy to grow, maturing at about 4 to 6 feet tall. Sweetheart blueberries won our nursery “taste test” for sweetness and flavor. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Sweetheart’ USDA Zones 4 – 8 Hardy to -20˚F

$10 REKA blueberries are one of the earliest to ripen varieties. Their dark blue berries have a rich sweet flavor and pleasing aroma. Reka bushes mature 4 to 6 feet high, producing plentiful yields of medium size berries. Bushes are fast growing, vigorous, and adaptable – even growing in clay or sandy soil. Vaccinium corymbosum “Reka’ USDA zones 4 – 7

$20 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. (Delicious eaten fresh too!) A bush may have 10 to 20 pounds of berries, and the bush is pest and disease resistant. Patriot blueberry bushes fit well into small backyard landscapes. They are also excellent for planting in containers on a patio or deck. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Patriot’ USDA Zones 3 – 7 Hardy to -30˚F.

EARLY TO MID SEASON

$10 & $20 DUKE An extra-large sweet blueberry, Duke has great flavor and keeps well. The light-blue berries usually ripen starting mid to late June through July. Bushes have strong upright growth 4 to 6 feet tall. They are extremely cold-hardy, blooming late but ripening berries early, thus protecting buds from unwelcome spring frosts. Duke is the most widely planted early-ripening blueberry variety because it is such a consistent producer of abundant quality harvests. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Duke’ USDA Zones 4 - 7 Hardy to -20˚F

MID SEASON

$10 & $20 BLUECROP A favorite for backyard gardens, Bluecrop’s light-blue berries are large, sweet, mild, and firm, ripening in July. Bushes are known for large clusters of berries and high yields of 10 to 20 pounds per bush. Attractive Bluecrop bushes have open upright growth 4 – 6 feet tall with fiery red foliage in fall. The hardy Bluecrop is disease-resistant and one of our most requested blueberry varieties. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Bluecrop’ USDA Zones 4 – 8 Hardy to -20˚F

$20 BLUERAY produces a large, sweet, firm, dark-blue berry of exceptional quality, recognized to have more antioxidants than other varieties. Blueray berries have a “vibrant flavor” - they ripen in July with harvest going on for many weeks. The bush is vigorous, productive, and winter-hardy. Blueray bushes mature at about 4 to 6 feet, making the berries easy to pick. Vaccinium corymbosum “Blueray’ USDA Zone 4 – 9 Hardy to -20˚F

MID TO LATE SEASON

$10 & $20 LEGACY produces sweet, aromatic fruit for an extended period in mid-summer, usually late July to August. It is especially known for the super-sweetness and unique taste of its large berries. Legacy has high yields and its large firm berries store well. Legacy is known for its adaptability and reliability. Bushes are vigorous and upright, maturing at about 6 to 7 feet tall. People say they get so many berries that one Legacy is actually like having 1½ bushes! Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Legacy’ USDA Zones 5 - 9 Hardy to -10˚F

$10 & $20 CHANDLER produces exceptionally large and sweet berries - named the “World’s Largest Blueberry.” They are delicious fresh, but also excellent for baking. Chandler has an extended ripening season from July through August (4 to 6 weeks) and consistently high yields. The attractive bush is robust, disease and pest resistant, maturing 5 - 6 feet tall. It is our most popular blueberry variety. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Chandler’ USDA Zone 4 – 8 Hardy to -20˚F

LATE SEASON $20 SWEETHEART has a second blueberry harvest in the fall.

$10 PINK LEMONADE is one of the last ripened blueberries of the year, usually late August to September. They are rosy-colored, glossy, firm, juicy, and mildly sweet, named because of a slight lemony tang. Berries are a vibrant addition to desserts, syrups, toppings, pies, and an appealing contrast mixed with traditional blueberries in fruit salad or muffins. The sturdy upright bush stays about 5 feet tall. Vaccinium ‘pink lemonade’ USDA Zone 4 – 8

$20 ELLIOTT is especially welcome as it ripens at the end of August and into the fall. The light blue berries are said to be sweet with a little “blueberry tang” to them. The firm fruit will last a week in the refrigerator and it has excellent freezing quality. The 4 – 6 foot tall upright growth of this low-maintenance bush typically produces 15 to 25 pounds of delicious fresh berries for weeks after other varieties have stopped. Vaccinium ‘Elliottii’ USDA Zones 5 – 8 Hardy to -10˚F
