Description / Vaccinium Blueberry Patch Blend Easy Fruit Kit
Blueberry Patch Blend Easy Fruit Kit contains 1 plant each of 3 different varieties: Jersey, Duke, and Bluecrop. Although blueberries are self-pollinating, planting two or more varieties with similar bloom times encourages cross-pollination. To make it easy, we've chosen 3 great varieties that work well together to produce larger yields of bigger berries. And these medium to large all-purpose berries are firm and classically sweetperfect for fresh eating and great for preserves, baking, or freezing. Blueberries are considered a superfood because they are simply loaded with nutrients and antioxidants. Berries are ready to be picked when they nearly start falling of the vine
These high-yielding blueberry bushes grow to between 4 and 8 feet tall and are as attractive and ornamental as they are productive, fitting nicely into an edible landscape. In spring, they bloom in pretty clusters of waxy, bell-shaped, pinkish white flowers. Nectar and pollen rich, the flowers attract and sustain pollinators, including honey bees, bumble bees, and butterflies. Beautiful blueberries follow the flowers and are set against a backdrop of dark green leaves that turn attractive shades of yellow, orange, and red in the fall. The reddish stems continue to add winter interest. Blueberry Patch Blend bushes make a lovely informal shrub planting in the landscape, but they can also be grown in containers.
In spring, plant Blueberry Patch Blend plants in a sunny location, spacing them 6 to 8 feet apart with the bud union 1 inch above soil level.
