    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Early. One of the best for flavor of any of the Northern Highbush cultivars. The berry is light blue and very large. The bush is upright with good fall color and reaches 5-6'. 'Spartan' likes to have a well drained sandy loam and abundant organic matter.

    Early (just after 'Duke'). Large fruit. Upright, vigorous grower.
