Vaccinium hybrid Blue Crop

Blue Crop Blueberry

Bluecrop Blueberry bears large, pale blue berries in loose clusters that are easy to reach at harvest. Its reliable midseason production makes it a useful main crop in a home berry patch.

The upright bush also contributes bright red autumn foliage and red winter stems. It needs a climate with about 800 or more chill hours to support regular flowering and fruiting.

Provide sun and moist, acidic soil. Plant another compatible blueberry for better fruit set.
