Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Patriot Blueberry has high productive yields with abundant fruit and beautiful leaves. It is generally shorter in height than most blueberry varieties making it great for container gardens or smaller gardens. Crops bring 10 - 20 pounds of fruit after a few years, with multiple yields throughout early summer. Multiple varieties are needed for best pollination. We can not ship blueberries to Georgia or Michigan at this time.

Compact deciduous shrub with large, tangy edible blueberries early in the season. Fall color in tones of bright reds, oranges, and yellows. White flowers in the spring are very showy and 'Patriot' works well in landscapes for that reason. Thrives in a wide variety of soil conditions and is very cold hardy. Early season variety.

Very Early. This one was selected by the University of Maine for its cold hardiness and consistent crops of giant (quarter-sized) fruit. At maturity you may get 10-20 pounds of dark blue, highly flavored fruit from a single bush.

Early. Huge sweet fruit—each berry can be as large as a quarter. Appears to be phytophthora resistant. 4' x 4'.

A very cold tolerant shrub that will grow 3'-4' tall making a handsome full shrub. Will grow better in poorer drainage than other cultivars. This nice shrub will provide a good crop of tangy fruit.
