Berry lovers rejoice, Sweetheart is a work of botanical genius that brings you 2 crops of fruit in a season! This self-pollinating blueberry is as worry-free and easy to maintain as any other bush, but with the added bonus of a double yield. Its first robust crop of dusky blue berries arrives near the end of spring or the start of summer and then gives an encore at summer's end. The berries are more than we could've asked for: pleasingly plump and bursting with juicy sweetness!
Growing to a max height of only 5 to 6 feet makes this the ideal size for the average garden. Despite its unremarkable size, after its rush of white flowers in spring, the branches of this shrub become positively laden with firm and sweet berries to rival a plant twice its size! You can expect up to 15lbs of berries from a mature plant. With all of these things going for it, it's really no wonder that Sweetheart never stays in stock for long. Don't miss out - grab yours today! Zones 4-8.
