Blueberry Bluecrop Consistent Yield And High Quality

Bluecrop Blueberry 

If you like a firm light blue medium sized Blueberry, that is what you will get with the Bluecrop Blueberry Vaccinium 'Bluecrop'.  This is one of the most popular varieties with its disease resistance, high yield and excellent quality.  Blueberries are self-fertile but cross-pollination will result in a better crop.  They will need full sun for best crop production as well.

The mature height of this plant is about 5 feet and will spread 4 to 6 feet.  It requires moist well-drained soil.  The Bluecrop white flowers pop out in May, the fruit ripens in early August and it has a red fall color.  It is hardy from zones 4-7.  Blueberries are chock full of vitamins and are a wonderful source of bioflavanoids.  The Bluecrop Blueberry tastes great eaten fresh or in many types of desserts, smoothies, sauces, jams and syrups, just to name a few.  It is also a price savings when you can grow your own.
