Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

$35 for 10

Wild highbush blueberries are predominately found in wetland margins, moist woods, bogs, swamps and low areas.   Berries mature in August – try to beat the birds.   Many birds, including catbirds, scarlet tanagers, and thrushes, relish the berries.  As do bears. Old shrubs can take on an interesting, gnarled appearance with a spreading crown.

The upright, deciduous shrub native to eastern North America.  Mature plants will reach around 5-8’ tall with an equal spread and a dense, rounded habit.  Foliage flashes bright shades of coppery red in fall.  Loose clusters (“corymbs”) of white-pale pink, pendulous, urn-shaped flowers  bloom in spring.  The round, sweet berries are dark blue to purple, have a dull, blue-grey bloom on their surface, and incorporate the sepals.

For best fruit production, you will want to plant several within  10-25 foot  of each other.  These are not named varieties, so not bred for bountiful harvests.   These rooted cuttings come from Michigan.
