Fruit & harvest

Harvest: Midseason summer crop.
First crop: Expect light crops for the first 2–3 years; yields increase as the plant matures.
Pollination: A second compatible blueberry cultivar usually improves fruit set and berry size.

Growing & care

Soil: Acidic, approximately pH 4.5–5.5
Pruning: Prune before spring growth. Remove dead or weak wood and older, unproductive canes at the base; retain vigorous one-year-old wood for fruit.
Soil pH: Test soil before planting. Blueberries need acidic, well-drained soil; a pH of 4.0–5.5 is the extension reference range.

Test soil before planting; blueberries require acidic soil. Mulch with organic material and water consistently. Prune established shrubs while dormant to remove older, less productive wood.
