Vaccinium hybrid Elliott

Elliott Blueberry

Elliott Blueberry extends the harvest with medium-sized, dark blue berries that ripen late in the season. The fruit has a pronounced blueberry flavor and can be gathered over several weeks.

Strong, upright stems form a substantial bush, with burgundy tones in the leaves and wood adding seasonal color. Productive growth depends on receiving around 800 or more chill hours during winter.

Plant in sun and acidic, evenly moist soil. Add a compatible blueberry for improved fruit set.
