Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The mid-season fruit of this vigorous, consistently-productive blueberry is large and tender with a special mountain-huckleberry flavor. S/M/acid

By: Forestfarm

Its flavor is a perfect blend of sweet and tart that brings out that delicious Blueberry flavor. Berries size 1 inch, produced in large clusters. Berries are attractive and firm, hang well on the bush without dropping. One of the best commercial varieties and a must for the home garden. Ripens late mid-season or 10 days to 2 weeks after Bluecrop. You will need 2-3 different kinds for cross-pollination.
