Sweet High-Bush Berries for Your Garden!

There's nothing like standing in your garden with a bowl in one hand and a blueberry bush at the other, popping sun-warmed berries straight into your mouth. These are the moments homesteading is made for.

Our blueberry bushes produce abundant crops of plump, sweet berries perfect for fresh eating, baking, and freezing. High-bush varieties thrive in acidic soil and reward you with spring blooms that attract pollinators, summer fruit that feeds your family, and brilliant fall foliage that lights up the landscape.

Plant multiple varieties for extended harvest season and improved pollination. These long-lived perennial shrubs will produce for 20+ years with minimal care once established. Excellent for edible landscaping, food forests, and backyard orchards.

Potted plants in 1 liter or 1 gallon pots.

Mature height: 4-6 feet

Hannah’s Choice -Very early, approximately 3 days before Duke. Yield is slightly less than Duke varying 8 to 15 pounds per plant. Medium sized fruits, but larger than most commercial early and midseason cultivars. The berries are an attractive light blue, excellent firmness, and fine flavor. The sugar brix are high compared to other leading early and midseason cultivars. The fruits can be stored for longer periods of time compared to other early cultivars. The fruits are formed in loose clusters with uniform ripening. The pink tinged flower petals make Hannah’s Choice an excellent landscape plant. Plants are very upright, vigorous, with orange to burgundy fall foliage.

Duke -Early season. When the berries of Duke ripen you will know that summer is here! Fifteen pounds of deep blue, medium size berries will cover the bush for a period of 3 weeks every year. Sweet flavors of the berries are loaded with vitamins in every handful.

Blue Crop -The leading early to mid season highbush blueberry in the US. Consistent yield, ranging from 10-20 pounds per plant.

Fruit size is large with 65 berries per cup. Berry quality is firm, picking scar is small, and berries are bright blue. The clusters are open and medium-large. Ornamental value for the bush is excellent. Good green color in summer and fiery red in fall. Very hardy and drought resistant.

Patriot -Mid season. Large fruits of good firm quality. Consistent yield, ranging from 10-20 pounds at maturity. Ornamental use of Patriot is good. Patriot seems to have resistance to Phytophthora cinnamomi root disease.

Chandler -Mid to late season. HUGE fruits, as large as a nickel, with some being the size of a quarter. The fruits are a pleasure to eat, having the taste of the blueberries found in the wild, only in a giant size berry. Chandler berries can be enjoyed over a 6 week harvest period. This is 3 weeks longer than other blueberry varieties. In the later days of harvest, the fruits become sugar sweet. Once the plants are mature, you can expect 15 pounds of fruit per year. Chandler is a must own for every gardener!
