blueberry 'Bluecrop'
blueberry - mid-season fruiting or Vaccinium 'Bluecrop'
Considered by many to be one of the most reliable croppers, this mid-season cultivar produces high yields of large, delicious fruits that are ready to pick in mid-summer. The vigorous bushes have an upright habit and show a good resistance to disease.
The dark green foliage provides interest throughout the growing season, turning brilliant shades of red and orange in autumn. In spring, clusters of small, white, bell-shaped flowers appear, attracting pollinators before giving way to the developing fruit.
Blueberry ‘Bluecrop’ thrives in acidic, moisture-retentive soil and benefits from a sunny, sheltered position. Ideal for growing in pots with ericaceous compost or in garden beds enriched with organic matter, this cultivar is self-fertile but will produce an even better harvest when grown alongside another blueberry cultivar.
