Highbush Blueberry 'Blue Crop', Blueberry 'Blue Crop'
Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Bluecrop’ (Highbush Blueberry) is a bushy upright deciduous shrub, with small oval dark green leaves turning attractive shades of red in the fall. In late spring, cylindrical creamy-white flowers give way to clusters of medium-large, firm, light blue blueberries which ripen in midsummer. The edible blueberries are good for preserves, baking, freezing, and fresh eating. They are a delight for birds, wildlife, and humans alike! Winter provides charming interest with the reddish twiggy branches forming a lovely silhouette. Although blueberries are self-fertile, cross-pollination produces the best fruit crop (larger berries and larger yields). For optimal pollination and yield plant more than one variety with the same bloom time.
