Description: |
Nelson
(38 available)
as of 10/6/2021 |
Harvest: Late-Mid
Zone: 3-7
Fruit: Large
Height: 5-7 Feet, Stocky
Flavor: Mildly Sweet |
Hardy and reliable in our area. Our experience, strange though it is, is that Nelson blueberries have a slightly distinctive hint of vanilla flavor that is only perceptible after freezing them. Nice sweet berry when eaten fresh. Good yields early, even before maturity. We freeze alot of these. |
Duke
(26 available.)
as of 10/6/2021
|
Harvest: Early
Zone: 4-7
Fruit: Medium
Height: 4-6 Feet, Stocky
Flavor: Savory Sweet |
It is said that Duke is "the most widely planted" early ripening northern variety. Here is why: it blooms late and ripens FAST, which allows it a better chance of not getting hit by late frosts. |
Blue Jay
SOLD OUT
as of 10/6/2021
|
Harvest: Early-Mid
Zone: 4-7
Fruit: Medium
Height: 6-7 Feet, Compact
Flavor: Very Sweet |
When fully ripe, this plant produces some of the sweetest berries we have tasted, which is why we have alot of these planted on our farm. |
Northland
(Sold Out)
|
Harvest: Mid-Early
Zone: 3-7
Fruit: Medium
Height: 4-7 Feet, Compact
Flavor: Sweet |
Very high yielding and hardy. We have been told up to 20lbs per bush, though we have not seen that yet as our plants are still young. Good candidate for a container too. |
Patriot
(Only 5 left.)
as of 10/6/2021
|
Harvest: Early
Zone: 3-7
Fruit: Large
Height: 3-5 Feet, Compact
Flavor: Sweet |
Another excellent container variety, large berries, good flavor. |
Toro
(20 smaller plants left)
as of 10/6/2021
|
Harvest: Mid-Season
Zone: 4-7
Fruit: Large
Height: 4-6 Feet, Stocky
Flavor: Mildly Sweet
|
Very Easy to Pick, however berries need to stay on the bush awhile to get best flavor. The bush takes on a naturally beautiful shape, hardly needs much pruning as compared to others. |
Spartan
(12 remaining)
as of 10/6/2021
|
Harvest: Early
Zone: 5-7
Fruit: VERY Large
Height: 4-6 Feet, Upright
Flavor: Robust & Fruity |
Very Attractive, easy to pick, very flavorfull. Can be a litte more picky about soil and care, needs well drained soil with abundant organic matter. |
Blue Ray
(24 remaining)
as of 10/6/2021
|
Harvest: Mid
Zone: 3-7
Fruit: Very Large
Height: 4-6 Feet, Upright
Flavor: FRUITY |
We really like these and so do our farmers market customers, a little different flavor tastes more like the "fruit punch" that you had as a child. Well worth planting in our opinion. |
Berkeley
(4 remaining)
as of 10/6/2021
|
Harvest: Late-Mid
Zone: 4-7
Fruit: Large
Height: 4-6 Feet, Upright
Flavor: Mildly Sweet |
Lighter powder blue colored fruit, vigorous and strong growing. It is said to have a long shelf life. |
Early Blue
(18 remaining)
a of 10/6/2021
|
Harvest: Very Early
Zone: 5-7
Fruit: Medium-Large
Height: 4-6 Feet, Upright
Flavor: Sweet
|
The earliest variety of blueberries we have. We really like these berries and plan on planting more of these for additional early fruit. |
Blue Crop
(Only 5 left.)
as of 10/6/2021
|
Harvest: Mid
Zone: 4-7
Fruit: Large
Height: 4-6 Feet, Upright
Flavor: Sweet |
Maybe the most widely planted in the US. Disease resistant, very tall bush. A favorite among many gardeners. |
Blue Gold
(Not Available) |
Harvest: Mid
Zone: 4-7
Fruit: Medium
Height: 3-5 Feet, Compact
Flavor: Tart & Mildly Sweet |
Easily the most prolific producer of berries on our farm. Tastes more Huckleberry like than any other of our varieties. |
Chandler
(200 small plants available)
|
Harvest: Mid-Late
Zone: 4-7
Fruit: Gigantic
Height: 5-6 Feet, Spreading
Flavor: Rich Flavored |
One of the favorites at the farmers market. However Chandler is NOT good for U-Pick operations because people will tend to pick them before they are ripe by accident. Birds will also pick off quite a few due to long ripening time. |
Jersey
(Not Available)
|
Harvest: Late
Zone: 4-7
Fruit: Small-Medium
Height: 6-8 Feet, Upright
Flavor: Sweet |
One the old time varieties that could be one of the most widely planted. Tolerates a variety of soil types, berries are smaller but flavorfull. We really like this berry, but it does require more effort to pick it. We freeze many pints of these for winter. |
Reka
(Not Available) |
Harvest: Early
Zone: 4-7
Fruit: Medium-Large
Height: 4-6 Feet, Upright
Flavor: Strong |
At first I didn't much care for these berries and was going to rip them out, but during the next season the berries were much better. I am glad we kept the Reka bushes now, as we make sure they are ripe before we pick them and freeze alot of them because of their good flavour. |
Elliot
(Not Available)
|
Harvest: Very Late
Zone: 4-7
Fruit: Medium-Large
Height: 4-6 Feet, Upright
Flavor: Tangy & Sweet
|
Very late producer, must fully ripen to get sweetness, only recommended for warmer microclimates in our area. Elliot lets you get some berries very late in the year if you have the right site for it. |
