Vaccinium hybrid Northcountry
Common Name: Northcountry Blueberry
Northcountry Blueberry is a low, spreading selection with medium-sized berries and a mild, sweet flavor. The crop ripens in midseason, slightly ahead of Northblue.
Dark green summer foliage turns red in autumn. Its short stature makes it useful for an edible border edge where the leaves and fruit can be enjoyed close to ground level.
Grow in sun and acidic, evenly moist soil. This self-fertile variety needs substantial winter chilling.
