Description
Kickstart your blueberry season with the early harvest Patriot Blueberry, a reliable performer that delivers consistent crops of large berries. Unlike most highbush blueberries, this variety boasts a lower growing habit, making it a versatile addition to any landscape. Adaptable to various soil types and somewhat resistant to phytophthora, the Patriot Blueberry thrives in diverse environments, ensuring a fruitful harvest year after year.
Native to North America, this deciduous shrub showcases its magnificent blue berries from early to mid-summer, providing a delectable treat for both humans and wildlife alike. In mid-spring, dainty clusters of white bell-shaped flowers with shell pink overtones adorn the branches, adding to the beauty of this versatile plant.
With its oval-rounded shape and mature size of 6 feet tall and 7 feet wide, the Patriot Blueberry offers ample space for growth while remaining manageable in size. Thriving in full sun exposure and self-pollinating, this shrub is suitable for zones 3 to 8, promising a reliable harvest and native beauty in your garden.
