Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Provide at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best fruit set and sweetest berries. While it handles light afternoon shade in hotter climates, too much shade results in fewer flowers and less vibrant fall foliage.
  • Soil: These plants crave highly acidic, organic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. If you have heavy clay, plant in a raised mound or incorporate peat moss and pine bark to improve drainage and acidity.

Watering Requirements

During the first two growing seasons, provide 1 to 2 inches of water per week to help the shallow root system establish. Once mature, the Northland is remarkably resilient, but inconsistent moisture during fruit development will lead to smaller, shriveled berries. Aim for deep soakings at the base of the plant rather than frequent light sprinkles to encourage deep root growth.

Pruning Tips

This variety produces fruit on one year old wood, so the best time to prune is in late winter while the plant is still dormant. Remove about a quarter of the oldest, graying canes each year to make room for vigorous new reddish stems. Think of it like refreshing a wardrobe; by removing the old, you ensure the plant has the energy to produce the largest, highest quality fruit on the new growth.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply an acidic fertilizer, such as one labeled for Azaleas or Rhododendrons, in early spring before new growth begins. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because this forces tender new growth that won't have time to harden off before the first frost. Using a simple mulch of pine needles or wood chips will also help maintain the soil acidity these blueberries love.

Northland Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Northland') is a cold-hardy Half-High variety that was developed by the team at Michigan State University and released in 1967. Northland is a high-yielding plant with a more vigorous growth rate than other similar varieties. This attribute, coupled with its huge crop, made Northland a quick success!

Northland Blueberry is a consistent producer, even after a tough winter and you'll enjoy beautiful spring blooms that can tolerate light spring frosts. The pliable, arching limbs can withstand the weight of heavy winter snow. A mid-season ripening fruit, the productive Northland Blueberry will produce 3 to 12 pounds of fruit off of a single plant.

The medium-sized, soft, medium-blue berries are held in long, loose clusters and have a sweet, wild Blueberry flavor. In fall, the yellow-orange leaf color adds an artistic brilliance to your landscape or patio. You'll love the robust, healthy Blueberry!

Planting and Application:

Half-High Blueberries can be used in a number of ways in the landscape. Plant them with ornamental shrubs or pot up into a patio container! It stays compact either way! Use this as an edible landscaping plant in a shrub border at the edge of your property, seating areas or even as foundation plantings.

Perfect for eating fresh with your favorite cereal or cooking up a wonderful batch of Blueberry jam or preserves. Because of its high natural sugar content, you'll want to use these in sauces, chutneys and salsas, fresh or cooked, but rather than freezing them, try dehydration for a welcome winter snack! Plant a few extra to try all of these ideas, plus more to share with your friends, family, neighbors and still have some to share with local wildlife and songbirds!

  • Big Producer & Great Taste
  • Early Mid-Season Half-High
  • Sweet, Wild Blueberry Taste
  • Heavy Production & Consistent Performer
  • Very Cold Hardy

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Requiring acidic soil, Blueberry bushes love full sun, and Northland takes the cold with ease. Provide plenty of moisture and fertility, plus a healthy layer of mulch for best results.

  • Full Sun
  • Acidic, Well-Drained Enriched Soil
  • Moist to Wet Conditions
  • Prune When Dormant
