Deciduous blueberry shrubs produce fruit. Their heavily branched stems make them ideal landscaping plants. Blueberries have nodding, bell-shaped blossoms in April that bees enjoy. Different blueberry types provide an abundance of sweet, edible fruits from late spring to mid-fall, which can be eaten raw or baked and preserved.
Northern highbush cultivar ‘Blueray’ is medium-sized. It provides medium to high fruit yields early to mid-season. The huge, high-quality fruits taste great. Growing upright and vigorously, plants spread readily.
Northern highbush ‘Earliblue’ thrives. These bushes grow straight and spread, producing several new canes each year. To maximize fruiting, grow ‘Earliblue’ in a bright position with another early-season variety.
Northern highbush cultivar ‘Elliott’ is tiny to medium-sized. This hardy late-season plant fruits in September. For optimal fruit set and quality, cross-pollinate ‘Elliott’ with another late-season cultivar.
