For a sweet and wild taste the sky blue Northcountry Blueberries Vaccinium 'Northcountry' can't be beat!   This low spreading shrub produces small to medium sized fruit that is sky blue in color and is an abundant producer.  The Northcountry is an early producer so you will be able to harvest them in July.  The mature height of this upright shrub will be anywhere from 3 to 4 feet and it can spread from 30 inches up to 40 inches wide.  Blueberries need moist, well drained soil and full sun.

In the spring, usually May, the shrub puts forth dainty bell shaped flowers with a whitish-pink coloring.  In July the fruit will ripen and in the fall you will have lots of red leaf color.  The vines are considered decorative even in the winter without their leaves.  This would be a great ornamental plant with its seasonal decorative look anywhere in your landscape.  The Northcountry is cold hardy from zone 4 to zone 8.  Blueberries can be used fresh, in jams and syrups as well as many other types of desserts and also in beverages like fruit smoothies!  Growing your own can really cut costs at the grocery store as well as being very healthy.
