Vaccinium corymbosum 'Bluecrop'

Bluecrop Blueberry, Northern Highbush 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.
