Vaccinium corymbosum 'Bluecrop'
Common Name: Bluecrop Blueberry, Northern Highbush Blueberry
Bluecrop Blueberry bears large, pale blue berries in loose clusters that are easy to reach at harvest. Its reliable midseason production makes it a useful main crop in a home berry patch.
The upright bush also contributes bright red autumn foliage and red winter stems. It needs a climate with about 800 or more chill hours to support regular flowering and fruiting.
Provide sun and moist, acidic soil. Plant another compatible blueberry for better fruit set.
