Our Patriot Blueberry variety is an upright growing blueberry bush. This winter hardy variety will grow in zones 3-7. Blueberry plants require a pH range of 4.5-4.8 for the best results. It will produce fruit 1 year after planting.
Blueberry Planting Tips:
- Test your soil to see if you have the correct soil pH that blueberries require
- Amend soil with sulfur if your pH is neutral to alkaline
- Choose a full sun location
- Amend soil with organic matter to increase drainage if necessary
- Do not fertilize at planting
- Plant the root 1-2" below the soil surface
- Mulch with a 3-4" layer of wood chips to help water retention
