VACCINIUM COR BLUECROP

VACCINIUM COR BLUECROP
Grower Notes:

Vaccinium corymbosum 'Bluecrop' is commonly referred to as Highbush Blueberry 'Blue Crop' or Blueberry 'Blue Crop'. It is an upright, deciduous, open Highbush blueberry with bell-shaped white flowers in May followed by firm, medium sized, blue blueberries in July. They are great for baking, freezing or eating fresh. It is self-fertile but benefits from cross-pollination as that produces the best fruit and a better harvest.

Bluecrop Highbush Blueberries thrive in full sun to part shade in rich, fertile, acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It can be grown in mixed shrub borders among other acidic soil lovers such as Rhododendrons and Azaleas. Its fall color is fiery red and quite showy. Prune as needed in late winter in the third year after planting.
