Blueberry 'Northblue' 3 Gallon

Vaccinium corymbosum spp.

This is a half high variety that is extremely cold hardy and produces blueberries midseason (July). Berries are dime-sized and dark blue. Its compact-yet-spreading habit is covered in glossy green foliage that turns spectacular shades of yellow, orange, and red in fall. Plant with another blueberry variety such as Northcountry for good cross-pollination and greater yields. Use as a fresh snack, for baking and in jellies. Plant in well-drained to moist, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Little pruning is needed. Remove a few old, weak or crowded branches to the ground in late winter/early spring. Fertilize in early spring and mid-summer with Holly-tone. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. Choose early, midseason, and late producers to extend your harvest.
