Description
Legacy Blueberry is a highly rated variety known for its sweet, light blue fruit and stunning fall color. This compact, bushy shrub produces an abundance of berries in mid-summer, making it an excellent choice for home gardeners. In spring, clusters of delicate pink bell-shaped flowers emerge from red buds, adding seasonal charm before giving way to flavorful fruit.
Blueberries thrive in Massachusetts' climate, requiring highly acidic soil, excellent drainage, and a thick layer of mulch to retain moisture. Deciduous foliage shifts from bluish-green in summer to brilliant orange in the fall, providing year-round interest. With smooth tan bark and an upright, spreading habit, Legacy Blueberry blends beautifully into landscapes while offering both ornamental and edible appeal.
Each plant comes in a #3 (3 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.
