Description
Berkeley Blueberry is a popular variety known for its large, juicy, and sweet blueberries, perfect for a summer harvest. The bushy, wide-spreading shrub produces pretty bell-shaped flowers in mid-spring that add a touch of elegance to any garden. The berries ripen in mid-summer and are prized for their mild flavor, while the green foliage transitions to a striking scarlet in the fall.
This blueberry thrives in highly acidic soils with perfect drainage, so it’s essential to plant it with peat moss for the best results. The shrub’s yellow stems and smooth bark add interesting visual appeal to the landscape, while its heavy fruit production makes it a reliable and productive addition to your garden. Ideal for Massachusetts gardens, Berkeley Blueberry requires regular mulching to maintain its health and yield.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
