Plant Details

Bluecrop is a highbush blueberry cultivar. It produces all-purpose blueberries that are firm and somewhat tart — great for preserves, baking, freezing, and fresh eating. With this shrub, you will harvest as much as 10–20 lbs. of fruit every July. It also provides some nice landscape value with a bloom of white flowers in May and fiery red color in the fall. Blueberry plants are self-fertile, but cross-pollination produces a better crop — creating larger yields of larger berries. So it is best to plant more than one variety with the same bloom time 4'–6' apart. (Arbor Day Foundation)
