Description
A popular early-season variety, Duke Blueberry delivers sweet, light blue berries from late spring to early summer. Its bushy, arching habit provides a dense, productive shrub, while its delicate white and pink bell-shaped flowers in spring attract pollinators. In fall, the glossy green leaves turn a striking orange, offering year-round interest.
Blueberries are an essential crop for home gardeners, combining ornamental beauty with delicious fruit. These shrubs thrive in Massachusetts' acidic, well-drained soils and benefit from peat moss and mulch for optimal growth. Duke Blueberry’s early harvest ensures fresh fruit at the start of the season, making it a favorite among growers.
